IDispatch Interface

Enums

DVASPECT

The DVASPECT enumeration values specify the desired data or view aspect of the object when drawing or getting data.

DVASPECT_CONTENT = &H1 Provides a representation of an object so it can be displayed as an embedded object inside of a container. This value is typically specified for compound document objects. The presentation can be provided for the screen or printer.

DVASPECT_THUMBNAIL = &H2 Provides a thumbnail representation of an object so it can be displayed in a browsing tool. The thumbnail is approximately a 120 by 120 pixel, 16-color (recommended) device-independent bitmap potentially wrapped in a metafile.

DVASPECT_ICON = &H4 Provides an iconic representation of an object.

DVASPECT_DOCPRINT = &H8 Provides a representation of the object on the screen as though it were printed to a printer using the Print command from the File menu. The described data may represent a sequence of pages.

DVASPECT2

The DVASPECT2 enumeration value is used in IViewObject::Draw to specify new drawing aspects used to optimize the drawing process.

DVASPECT_OPAQUE = &H10 Represents the opaque, easy to clip parts of an object. Objects may or may not support this aspect.

DVASPECT_TRANSPARENT = &H20 Represents the transparent or irregular parts of on object, typically parts that are expensive or impossible to clip out. Objects may or may not support this aspect.

OLEVERBATTRIB

The OLEVERBATTRIB enumeration constants are used in the OLEVERB structure to describe the attributes of a specified verb for an object.

OLEVERBATTRIB_NEVERDIRTIES = &H1 Executing this verb will not cause the object to become dirty and is therefore in need of saving to persistent storage.

OLEVERBATTRIB_ONCONTAINERMENU = &H2 Indicates a verb that should appear in the container's menu of verbs for this object. OLEIVERB_HIDE, OLEIVERB_SHOW, and OLEIVERB_OPEN never have this value set.

OLEWHICHMK

The OLEWHICHMK enumeration constants indicate which part of an object's moniker is being set or retrieved. These constants are used in the IOleObject and IOleClientSite interfaces.

OLEWHICHMK_CONTAINER = &H1 The moniker of the object's container. Typically, this is a file moniker. This moniker is not persistently stored inside the object, since the container can be renamed even while the object is not loaded.

OLEWHICHMK_OBJREL = &H2 The moniker of the object relative to its container. Typically, this is an item moniker, and it is part of the persistent state of the object.

OLEWHICHMK_OBJFULL = &H3 The full moniker of the object. Binding to this moniker results in a connection to the object. This moniker is not persistently stored inside the object, since the container can be renamed even while the object is not loaded.

USERCLASSTYPE

The USERCLASSTYPE enumeration constants indicate the different variants of the display name associated with a class of objects. They are used in the IOleObject::GetUserType method and the OleRegGetUserType function.

USERCLASSTYPE_FULL = &H1 The full type name of the class.

USERCLASSTYPE_SHORT = &H2 A short name (maximum of 15 characters) that is used for popup menus and the Links dialog box.

USERCLASSTYPE_APPNAME = &H3 The name of the application servicing the class and is used in the Result text in dialog boxes.

XFORMCOORDS

Use by the IOleControlSite::TransformCoords functions

XFORMCOORDS_POSITION = &H1 The coordinates to convert represent a position point. Cannot be used with XFORMCOORDS_SIZE.

XFORMCOORDS_SIZE = &H2 The coordinates to convert represent a set of dimensions. Cannot be used with XFORMCOORDS_POSITION.

XFORMCOORDS_HIMETRICTOCONTAINER = &H4 The operation converts pptlHimetric into pptfContainer. Cannot be used with XFORMCOORDS_CONTAINERTOHIMETRIC.

XFORMCOORDS_CONTAINERTOHIMETRIC = &H8 The operation converts pptfContainer into pptlHimetric. Cannot be used with XFORMCOORDS_HIMETRICTOCONTAINER.

CTRLINFOFLAGS

CTRLINFO_EATS_RETURN = &H1 When the control has the focus, it will process the Return key.

CTRLINFO_EATS_ESCAPE = &H2 When the control has the focus, it will process the Escape key.

LOCKTYPE

The LOCKTYPE enumeration values indicate the type of locking requested for the specified range of bytes. The values are used in the ILockBytes::LockRegion and IStream::LockRegion methods.

LOCK_WRITE = &H1 If this lock is granted, the specified range of bytes can be opened and read any number of times, but writing to the locked range is prohibited except for the owner that was granted this lock.

LOCK_EXCLUSIVE = &H2 If this lock is granted, writing to the specified range of bytes is prohibited except by the owner that was granted this lock.

LOCK_ONLYONCE = &H4 If this lock is granted, no other LOCK_ONLYONCE lock can be obtained on the range. Usually this lock type is an alias for some other lock type. Thus, specific implementations can have additional behavior associated with this lock type.

STGTY

The STGTY enumeration values are used in the type member of the STATSTG structure to indicate the type of the storage element. A storage element is a storage object, a stream object, or a byte-array object (LOCKBYTES).

STGTY_STORAGE = &H1 Indicates that the storage element is a storage object.

STGTY_STREAM = &H2 Indicates that the storage element is a stream object.

STGTY_LOCKBYTES = &H3 Indicates that the storage element is a byte-array object.

STGTY_PROPERTY = &H4 Indicates that the storage element is a property storage object.

STREAM_SEEK

The STREAM_SEEK enumeration values specify the origin from which to calculate the new seek-pointer location. They are used for the dworigin parameter in the IStream::Seek method.

STREAM_SEEK_SET = &H0 The new seek pointer is an offset relative to the beginning of the stream. In this case, the dlibMove parameter is the new seek position relative to the beginning of the stream.

STREAM_SEEK_CUR = &H1 The new seek pointer is an offset relative to the current seek pointer location. In this case, the dlibMove parameter is the signed displacement from the current seek position.

STREAM_SEEK_END = &H2 The new seek pointer is an offset relative to the end of the stream. In this case, the dlibMove parameter is the new seek position relative to the end of the stream.

Enums

OLEMISC

The OLEMISC enumeration is a set of bitwise constants that can be combined to describe miscellaneous characteristics of an object or class of objects.

OLEMISC_RECOMPOSEONRESIZE = &H1 When the container resizes the space allocated to displaying one of the object's presentations, the object wants to recompose the presentation. This means that on resize, the object wants to do more than scale its picture.

OLEMISC_ONLYICONIC = &H2 The object has no useful content view other than its icon. From the user's perspective, the Display As Icon check box (in the Paste Special dialog box) for this object should always be checked, and should not be uncheckable.

OLEMISC_INSERTNOTREPLACE = &H4 The object has initialized itself from the data in the container's current selection. Containers should examine this bit after calling IOleObject::InitFromData to initialize an object from the current selection.

OLEMISC_STATIC = &H8 This object is a static object, which is an object that contains only a presentation; it contains no native data. See OleCreateStaticFromData.

OLEMISC_CANTLINKINSIDE = &H10 This object cannot be the link source that when bound to activates (runs) the object.

OLEMISC_CANLINKBYOLE1 = &H20 This object can be linked to by OLE 1 containers. This bit is used in the dwStatus member of the OBJECTDESCRIPTOR structure transferred with the Object and Link Source Descriptor formats.

OLEMISC_ISLINKOBJECT = &H40 This object is a link object. This bit is significant to OLE 1 and is set by the OLE 2 link object; object applications have no need to set this bit.

OLEMISC_INSIDEOUT = &H80 This object is capable of activating in-place, without requiring installation of menus and toolbars to run. Several such objects can be active concurrently. Some containers, such as forms, may choose to activate such objects automatically.

OLEMISC_ACTIVATEWHENVISIBLE = &H100 This bit is set only when OLEMISC_INSIDEOUT is set, and indicates that this object prefers to be activated whenever it is visible. Some containers may always ignore this hint.

OLEMISC_RENDERINGISDEVICEINDEPENDENT = &H200 This object does not pay any attention to target devices. Its presention data will be the same in all cases.

OLEMISC_INVISIBLEATRUNTIME = &H400 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control has no run-time user interface, but that it should be visible at design time.

OLEMISC_ALWAYSRUN = &H800 This value is used with controls. It tells the container that this control always wants to be running.

OLEMISC_ACTSLIKEBUTTON = &H1000 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control is buttonlike in that it understands and obeys the container's DisplayAsDefault ambient property.

OLEMISC_ACTSLIKELABEL = &H2000 This value is used with controls. It marks the control as a label for whatever control comes after it in the form's ordering. Pressing a mnemonic key for a label control activates the control after it.

OLEMISC_NOUIACTIVATE = &H4000 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control has no UI active state, meaning that it requires no in-place tools, no shared menu, and no accelerators. It also means that the control never needs the focus.

OLEMISC_ALIGNABLE = &H8000 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control understands how to align itself within its display rectangle, according to alignment properties such as left, center, and right.

OLEMISC_SIMPLEFRAME = &H10000 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control is a simple grouping of other controls and does little more than pass Windows messages to the control container managing the form.

OLEMISC_SETCLIENTSITEFIRST = &H20000 This value is used with controls. It indicates that the control wants to use IOleObject::SetClientSite as its initialization function, even before a call such as IPersistStreamInit::InitNew or IPersistStorage::InitNew.

OLEMISC_IMEMODE = &H40000 Obsolete. A control that works with an Input Method Editor (IME) system component can control the state of the IME through the IMEMode property rather than using this value in the OLEMISC enumeration.

OLEMISC_IGNOREACTIVATEWHENVISIBLE = &H80000 For new ActiveX controls to work in an older container, the control may need to have the OLEMISC_ACTIVATEWHENVISIBLE value set.

OLEMISC_WANTSTOMENUMERGE = &H100000 A control that can merge its menu with its container sets this value.

OLEMISC_SUPPORTSMULTILEVELUNDO = &H200000 A control that supports multi-level undo sets this value.

OLECLOSE

The OLECLOSE enumeration constants are used in the IOleObject.Close method to determine whether the object should be saved before closing.

OLECLOSE_SAVEIFDIRTY = &H0 The object should be saved if it is dirty.

OLECLOSE_NOSAVE = &H1 The object should not be saved, even if it is dirty.

OLECLOSE_PROMPTSAVE = &H2 If the object is dirty, the IOleObject::Close implementation should display a dialog box to let the end user determine whether to save the object.

OLEGETMONIKER

The OLEGETMONIKER enumeration constants indicate the requested behavior of the IOleObject.GetMoniker and IOleClientSite.GetMoniker methods.

OLEGETMONIKER_ONLYIFTHERE = &H1 If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should return E_FAIL and not assign a moniker

OLEGETMONIKER_FORCEASSIGN = &H2 If a moniker for the object or container does not exist, GetMoniker should create one.

OLEGETMONIKER_UNASSIGN = &H3 IOleClientSite::GetMoniker can release the object's moniker (although it is not required to do so). This constant is not valid in IOleObject::GetMoniker.

OLEGETMONIKER_TEMPFORUSER = &H4 If a moniker for the object does not exist, IOleObject::GetMoniker can create a temporary moniker that can be used for display purposes (IMoniker::GetDisplayName) but not for binding.

Interface IOleClientSite

IOleClientSite Interface. The IOleClientSite interface is the primary means by which an embedded object obtains information about the location and extent of its display site, its moniker, its user interface, and other resources provided by its container.

Functions

SaveObject	Saves the object associated with the client site. This function is synchronous; by the time it returns, the save will be completed. `Function SaveObject () As Long`
