OLEUI_FALSE

Unknown failure (unused).

OLEUI_SUCCESS

No error, same as OLEUI_OK

OLEUI_OK

OLEUI_ERR_STRUCTURENULL

The pointer to an OLEUIXXX structure passed into the function was NULL.

OLEUI_ERR_STRUCTUREINVALID

Insufficient permissions for read or write access to an OLEUIXXX structure.

OLEUI_ERR_CBSTRUCTINCORRECT

The cbstruct value is incorrect.

OLEUI_ERR_HWNDOWNERINVALID

The hWndOwner value is invalid.

OLEUI_ERR_LPSZCAPTIONINVALID

The lpszCaption value is invalid.

OLEUI_ERR_LPFNHOOKINVALID

The lpfnHook value is invalid.

OLEUI_ERR_HINSTANCEINVALID

The hInstance value is invalid.

OLEUI_ERR_LPSZTEMPLATEINVALID

The lpszTemplate value is invalid.

OLEUI_ERR_HRESOURCEINVALID

Initialization Errors

OLEUI_ERR_FINDTEMPLATEFAILURE

Function Specific Errors

OLEUI_ERR_STANDARDMAX

Errors common to all dialogs lie in the range OLEUI_ERR_STANDARDMIN to OLEUI_ERR_STANDARDMAX. This value allows the application to test for standard messages in order to display error messages to the user.

OLEUI_IOERR_SRCDATAOBJECTINVALID

The lpSrcDataObject field of OLEUIPASTESPECIAL is invalid

OLEUI_IOERR_ARRPASTEENTRIESINVALID

The arrPasteEntries field of OLEUIPASTESPECIAL is invalid.

OLEUI_IOERR_ARRLINKTYPESINVALID

The arrLinkTypes field of OLEUIPASTESPECIAL is invalid

OLEUI_PSERR_CLIPBOARDCHANGED

The clipboard contents changed while the dialog was displayed.

OLEUI_PSERR_GETCLIPBOAARDFAILED

Comments

The design of the paste special dialog assumes the following: if you are willing to permit a user to link to an object, you are also willing to permit the user to embed that object. For this reason, if any of the OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE flags associated with the OLEUIPASTEFLAG enumeration are set, then the OLEUIPASTE_PASTE flag must also be set in order for the data formats to appear in the paste special box.

To free an HMETAFILEPICT returned from the Insert Object or Paste Special dialog box, delete the attached metafile on the handle, as follows:

  • oid FreeHmetafilepict(HMETAFILEPICT hmfp)

{

if (hmfp != NULL)

{

LPMETAFILEPICT pmfp = GlobalLock(hmfp);

DeleteMetaFile(pmfp->hMF);

GlobalUnlock(hmfp);

GlobalFree(hmfp);

}

} // FreeHmetafilepict
