IOleUIObjInfo

The IOleUIObjInfo interface is implemented by containers and used by the container's Object Properties dialog box and by the Convert dialog box. It provides information used by the General and View pages of the Object Properties dialog box , which display information about the object's size, location, type, and name. It also allows the object to be converted via the Convert dialog box. The View page allows the object's icon to be modified from its original form, and its display aspect to be changed (iconic versus content). Optionally, you can have your implementation of this interface allow the scale of the object to be changed.

When To Implement

You must implement this interface so your container application can support the OleUIObjectProperties function and the dialog box that it implements.

When To Use

Use this interface when you need to get and set information required by the Object Properties dialog box , and to support the Convert dialog box.
