Detailed Description

This type cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, use one of the following derived types: ObjectRegistryRef or MultiObjectRegistryRef.

If multiple objects are registered with the same key, use the derived type MultiObjectRegistryRef. Typically this happens when delegate objects instantiated by models are registered. If you know the key is used to register only a single object, using the derived type ObjectRegistryRef is recommended.
