SAMPLE: CLIBIN.EXE Converting COleClientItem into CLongBinary

The information in this article applies to:

• The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), included with: Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, versions 4.0, 4.1

SUMMARY

CLIBIN.EXE is a Microsoft Foundation Class sample that demonstrates how to write the data from an OLE Embedded Item to an OLE Object field in an Access 7.0 Database. This particular sample uses the MFC/ODBC classes.

MORE INFORMATION

This sample writes the OLE Embedded Item's data to an Access OLE Object field from within the Container App's OnInsertItem member of the CView class. There is an Access database that goes along with this sample located in the project's directory called "longbin.mdb." Remember to register this .mdb file with the ODBC Administrator.

The following code demonstrates how to accomplish this procedure:
