Inserting an Existing File In the OLE Control

Calling the InsertFile() embeds a copy of the existing object into the control. The following example inserts the specified object.

String lFileNameWithFullPath, lFileName Integer lResult lResult = GetFileOpenName( "Select File to Open " + & "in OLE Control", lFileNameWithFullPath,lFileName) If lResult = 0 Then Return lResult = ole_1.InsertFile( lFileNameWithFullPath ) If lResult <> 0 Then MessageBox( "File Insert Error", lResult ) Return -1000 End If ole_1.Activate( InPlace! )

Activate() function activates the inserted file, i.e., invokes the OLE Server (The program that created the file).

To see it in the action, run the application. Select 'Module > OLE Control Examples' menu option. Click on the Insert File CommandButton.
