6.2 Data Transfer in Object Linking and Embedding

This section gives a brief overview of how applications share information under OLE. Details of the implementation are given in later sections of this chapter.

Applications use three dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), OLECLI.DLL, OLESVR.DLL, and SHELL.DLL, to implement object linking and embedding. Object linking and embedding is supported by OLECLI.DLL and OLESVR.DLL. The registration database is supported by SHELL.DLL.
