PRB: Calling IOleObject::InitFromData Returns E_NOTIMPL

 Last reviewed: May 17, 1995
Article ID: Q108312
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft OLE version 1.0
  • Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, versions 2.0 and 2.01
  • Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with: 

        - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

After an OLE 2.0 container successfully returns from a call to OleCreate(), a subsequent call to IOleObject::InitFromData() returns with a failure of E_NOTIMPL.

CAUSE

The object being manipulated is an OLE 1.0 object.

RESOLUTION

This is a limitation of an OLE 1.0 server application. Contact the manufacturer of the server application to find out the availability of an OLE 2.0-compliant version of the server.

MORE INFORMATION

OLE 1.0 does not have a feature equivalent to IOleObject::InitFromData, and therefore the OLE 2.0 libraries cannot synthesize this functionality in the OLE 1.0 compatibility layer.

If the object application is an OLE 2.0-compliant application, the error is returned by the object application's implementation of this method.
