IOleObject::GetMiscStatus

Returns a value indicating the status of an object at creation and loading.

HRESULT GetMiscStatus(

DWORD dwAspect,	//Value indicating object aspect
DWORD *pdwStatus	//Pointer to storage of status information
);

Parameters

dwAspect
[in] The aspect of an object about which status information is being requested. The value is obtained from the enumeration DVASPECT (see "FORMATETC Data Structure").

pdwStatus
[out] Points to where the status information is returned. May not be NULL.

Return Values
S_OK

Status information returned successfully.

OLE_S_USEREG

Delegate the retrieval of miscellaneous status information to the default handler's implementation of this method.

CO_E_CLASSNOTREG

There is no CLSID registered for the object.

CO_E_READREGDB

Error accessing the registry.

Comments
A container normally calls IOleObject::GetMiscStatus when it creates or loads an object in order to determine how to display the object and what types of behaviors it supports.

Objects store status information in the registry. If the object is not running, the default handler's implementation of IOleObject::GetMiscStatus retrieves this information from the registry. If the object is running, the default handler invokes IOleObject::GetMiscStatus on the object itself.

The information that is actually stored in the registry varies with individual objects. The status values to be returned are defined in the enumeration OLEMISC.

Notes to Implementors
Implementation normally consists of delegating the call to the default handler.

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.
