The IOleCache interface provides control of the presentation data that gets cached inside of an object. Cached presentation data is available to the container of the object even when the server application is not running or is unavailable.
The IOleCache interface can be implemented by an object handler and an in-process server. In general, however, the methods of IOleCache are implemented as part of the IOleCache2 interface, which inherits the IOleCache definition, and adds methods for selectively updating the cache. Rather than implementing, however, it is typical to use or aggregate the OLE implementation, a pointer to which is available through a call to CreateDataCache.
A client calls the methods of IOleCache to control what the data cache holds. A typical client would be an OLE Documents container that would cache an object's presentation so it is available without the object actually being active.
