REGISTERING OLE PROGRAMMATIC ID ALIAS FOR OPOS CONTROL OBJECT
The OPOS specification states that the OLE Programmatic IDs for OPOS control objects should
be OPOS.xxx where xxx specifies the device class of the control object (e.g., MSR, MICR,
PINPad, etc). The result of this requirement is that only one control object of a specific device
class can be registered at a single time.
