Freezes the dynamic type information so that no more changes are permitted to the object.
HRESULT FreezeShape();
Parameters
None.
Return Values
The designer returns one of the following values:
| Return Value | Meaning |
| S_OK | The method succeeded. |
| E_FAIL | The method failed for an unknown reason. |
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | Not enough memory is available to complete the operation. |
Comments
The designer implements this method.
The host calls FreezeShape immediately after loading the run-time object, so the type information for the run-time object cannot change.
Example
The following example sets a global flag, m_fFreezeShape, to indicate that the type information cannot change any further. After the current object is destroyed and a new instance is created, the flag is cleared.
STDMETHODIMP CMyDesigner::FreezeShape
(
void
)
{
m_fFreezeShape = TRUE;
return S_OK;
}
