SUMMARY

OLE is a collection of functions and messages that allow applications to create "compound documents," documents that combine text and graphics in an editable form.

Two documents are available that describe all the steps required to implement an OLE server application or an OLE client application. A file that contains sample source code accompanies each document. Each document is stored in rich text format (RTF). An RTF-aware word processor is required to view each document.

MORE INFORMATION

The "OLE Client Implementation Guide" is available in the Microsoft Software Library in the file OCLIENT.EXE. PATRON.EXE contains the source code for a sample client application.
