Object Linking and Embedding
Object linking and embedding (OLE) applications manage compound documents  that is, documents made up of data from a variety of different applications.
OLE provides services that make it easy for applications to call on other
applications for data editing. For example, an OLE-aware word processor could embed
a graph from a spreadsheet. The user could start the spreadsheet automatically
from within the word processor by choosing the embedded chart for editing. The
OLE libraries would take care of starting the spreadsheet and presenting the
graph for editing. When the user quit the spreadsheet, the graph would be updated
in the original word processor document. Contrast this with a DDE link
involving a spreadsheet graph in a word processor document. With DDE, the user would
have to explicitly start the spreadsheet and open the graph document in order to
make changes. With OLE, the spreadsheet appears to be an extension of the word
processor.
Like an application using DDE, an OLE-aware application can communicate with a
wide variety of other Windows-based applications. Because the OLE protocol
includes all necessary context information, the application will be able to hold
OLE conversations with all other OLE-aware applications even those that have yet to be written.
Key Point OLE supports compound documents and enables an application to include
embedded or linked data that, when chosen, automatically starts another application
for data editing. This enables the application to be extended by any other
OLE-aware application.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. 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. Net classes. More » |
