PATRON: Loads and Saves Files Composed of Embedded and Linked Objects
PATRON is a single-document application that simply allows you to save and load files composed of embedded and linked objects. Each object is contained within a separate child window; this is the most convenient method for demonstrating how to use the object linking and embedding (OLE) application programming interface (API). Your OLE application is likely to have other data structures for items such as pictures and tables as well as methods for dealing with their display and positioning. Patron does not get that complicated because techniques for moving objects in a document have no bearing on implementing an OLE client.
PATRON is a companion application for the technical article "OLE Client Implementation Guide." See the article for additional information on how to use PATRON for development purposes.
PATRON was built and tested under Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) version 3.1.
