BOOL OleUICanConvertOrActivateAs(

REFCLSID rClsid,	//CLSID of the specified class
BOOL fIsLinkedObject,	//Indicates whether the original object was a linked object
WORD wFormat	//The format of the original class
);

Parameters
rClsid

Points to the CLSID of the specified class.

fIsLinkedObject

TRUE if the original object is a linked object; FALSE otherwise.

wFormat

Specifies the format of the original class.

Return Values
TRUE

The specified class can be converted to or activated as another class.

FALSE

Comments
Notes to Implementors
OleUICanConvertOrActivateAs searches the Registry for classes that include wFormat in their \Conversion\Readable\Main, \Conversion\ReadWriteable\Main, and \DataFormats\DefaultFile entries.

This function is useful for determining if a Convert... menu item should be disabled. If the CF_DISABLEDISPLAYASICON flag is specified in the call to OleUIConvert, then the Convert... menu item should be enabled only if OleUICanConvertOrActivateAs returns TRUE.
