IOleObject::GetExtent
Retrieves a running object's current display size.
HRESULT GetExtent(
DWORD dwDrawAspect,
| //Value indicating object aspect
| SIZEL *psizel
| //Pointer to storage of object size limit
| );
|
|
Parameters
dwDrawAspect
[in] Describes the aspect of the object whose limit is to be retrieved; the
value is obtained from the enumeration DVASPECT. The most common value for this method is DVASPECT_CONTENT, which specifies a
full rendering of the object within its container.
psizel
[out] Points to where the object's size is to be returned.
Return Values
S_OK
Extent information successfully returned.
E_INVALIDARG
Invalid value for dwAspect.
Comments
A container calls IOleObject::GetExtent on a running object to retrieve its current display size. If the container
can accommodate that size, it will normally do so because the object, after all,
knows what size it should be better than the container does. A container
normally makes this call as part of initializing an object.
The display size returned by IOleObject::GetExtent may differ from the size last set by IOleObject::SetExtent because the latter method dictates the object's display space at the time the
method is called but does not necessarily change the object's native size, as
determined by its application.
Notes to Callers
Because a container can make this call only to a running object, the container
must instead call IViewObject2::GetExtent if it wants to get the display size of a loaded object from its cache.
Notes to Implementors
Implementation consists of filling the sizel structure with an object's height and width.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
