OleConvertIStorageToOLESTREAMEx

Converts the specified storage object from OLE 2 structured storage to the OLE 1 storage model, including the presentation data. This is one of several compatibility functions. You can use these functions to determine if an object class is from OLE 1 and to convert objects between OLE 1 and OLE 2 storage formats.

HRESULT OleConvertIStorageToOLESTREAMEx(

IStorage * pStg,
//Points to the OLE 2 storage object to be converted
CLIPFORMAT cfFormat,
//Presentation data format
LONG lWidth,
//Width in HIMETRIC
LONG lHeight,
//Height in HIMETRIC
DWORD dwSize,
//Size of data in bytes
STGMEDIUM pmedium,
//Points to STGMEDIUM of data
LPOLESTREAM lpolestm
//Points to the stream where the OLE1 storage is written
);

Parameters

pStg

Points to the storage object to be converted to an OLE 1 storage.

cfFormat

Specifies the format of the presentation data. May be NULL, in which case the lWidth, lHeight, dwSize, and pmedium parameters are ignored. lWidth

Specifies the width of the object presentation data in HIMETRIC units.

lHeight

Specifies the height of the object presentation data in HIMETRIC units.

dwSize

Specifies the size of the data to be converted, in bytes.

pmedium

Points to the STGMEDIUM structure for the serialized data to be converted. See STGMEDIUM for more information.

lpolestm

Points to a stream where the persistent representation of the object is saved using the OLE 1 storage model.

Return Values

S_OK

Indicates the conversion was completed successfully.

DV_E_STGMEDIUM

Specifies the hGlobal member of STGMEDIUM is NULL.

E_INVALIDARG

Specifies the dwSize parameter is NULL; or the pstg parameter is invalid; or the lpolestm parameter is invalid.

DV_E_TYMED

Specifies the tymed member of the STGMEDIUM structure is not TYMED_HGOLBAL or TYMED_ISTREAM.

Comments

This function converts an OLE 2 storage object to OLE 1 format. It differs from the OleConvertIStorageToOLESTREAM function in that the presentation data to be written to the OLE 1 storage is passed in.

Because OleConvertIStorageToOLESTREAMEx can specify which presentation data to convert, it can be used by applications that do not use OLE default caching resources but do use OLE's conversion resources.

The value of the tymed member of STGMEDIUM must be either TYMED_HGLOBAL or TYMED_ISTREAM. The medium is not released by OleConvertIStorageToOLESTREAMEx.
