INF: Properly Rendering OLE Presentation Formats

ID Number: Q77469

Summary:

The presentation format of an OLE (Object Linking and Embedding)

object is used by the OLE libraries to display the object inside a

client application. The formats that can be used are CF_METAFILEPICT,

CF_DIB, and CF_BITMAP. If an object handler has been registered for

the object class in the registration database, the native format may

also be used as the presentation format.

The functions OleQueryCreateFromClip and OleQueryLinkFromClip will

fail if the native data format is used as the presentation format and

no object handler has been registered for a particular object class.
