IOleUIObjInfo

This interface is implemented by containers and used by the container's Object Properties dialog and by the Convert dialog. It provides information used by the General and View pages of the Object Properties dialog, which display information about the object's size, location, type, and name. It also allows the object to be converted via the Convert dialog. The View page allows the object's icon to be modified from its original form, and its display aspect to be changed (iconic versus content). Optionally, you can have your implementation of this interface allow the scale of the object to be changed.

When To Implement
You must implement this interface so your container application can support the OleUIObjectProperties function and the dialog that it implements.

When To Use
Use this interface when you need to get and set information required by the Object Properties dialog, and to support the Convert dialog.
