COleControl::OnGetNaturalExtent

virtual BOOL OnGetNaturalExtent( DWORD dwAspect, LONG lindex, DVTARGETDEVICE* ptd, HDC hicTargetDev, DVEXTENTINFO* pExtentInfo, LPSIZEL psizel );

Return Value

Nonzero if it successfully returns or adjusts the size; otherwise 0.

Parameters

dwAspect

Specifies how the object is to be represented. Representations include content, an icon, a thumbnail, or a printed document. Valid values are taken from the enumeration DVASPECT or DVASPECT2.

lindex

The portion of the object that is of interest. Currently only -1 is valid.

ptd

Points to the DVTARGETDEVICE structure defining the target device for which the object's size should be returned.

hicTargetDev

Specifies the information context for the target device indicated by the ptd parameter from which the object can extract device metrics and test the device's capabilities. If ptd is NULL, the object should ignore the value in the hicTargetDev parameter.

pExtentInfo

Points to the DVEXTENTINFO structure that specifies sizing data. The DVEXTENTINFO structure is:

typedef struct  tagExtentInfo
    {
    UINT cb;
    DWORD dwExtentMode;
    SIZEL sizelProposed;
    }   DVEXTENTINFO;

The structure member dwExtentMode can take one of two values:

• DVEXTENT_CONTENT   Inquire how big the control should be to exactly fit content (snap-to-size)
  
  
• DVEXTENT_INTEGRAL   When resizing, pass proposed size to control

psizel

Points to sizing data returned by control. The returned sizing data is set to -1 for any dimension that was not adjusted.

Remarks

Called by the framework in response to a container’s IViewObjectEx::GetNaturalExtent request. Override this function to return the object's display size closest to the proposed size and extent mode in the DVEXTENTINFO structure. The default implementation returns FALSE and makes no adjustments to the size.
