BUG: OLERENDER_ASIS Results in Blank Embedded ObjectLast reviewed: May 17, 1995Article ID: Q110714 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf an OLE 1.0 client application contains an embedded object and copies the object to the clipboard and an OLE 2.0 container application then performs a paste operation by creating a new embedded object based on the clipboard data by calling OleGetClipboard() and then calling OleCreateFromData(), the resulting embedded object appears blank in the container's document if the OLE 2.0 container specifies OLERENDER_ASIS as the renderOpt parameter to OleCreateFromData().
CAUSEThe OLE 1.0 compatibility layer has placed the CF_EMBEDSOURCE format onto the clipboard on behalf of the OLE 1.0 client application. This is incorrect. When copying an embedded object to the clipboard, the CF_EMBEDDEDOBJECT format should be supplied. NOTE: The DOBJVIEW test application supplied with the OLE Software Development Kit (SDK) version 2.01 can be used to determine which clipboard formats are supplied by the clipboard data object.
RESOLUTIONAn OLE 2.0 container application can avoid specifying OLERENDER_ASIS as the renderOpt parameter to OleCreateFromData() when the clipboard data object does not supply the CF_EMBEDDEDOBJECT format.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
