Setting Description


0 - Linked The OLE control contains a linked object.

  1. - Embedded The OLE control contains an embedded object.

3 - Empty The OLE control does not contain an object.

Details:

Use OleType to determine the kind of object contained in the OLE control or whether it contains an object at all.

If the OLE control contains a linked object, all the object
s data is managed by the originating application. When the object is saved (set Action =11), only link information such as SourceDoc, SourceItem, etc., is saved by your Phoenix application in the designated file.

In the case of embedded OLE objects, all the OLE object
s data is managed with the Phoenix application. The embedded object's information cannot be directly accessed by other applications. When the object is saved (set Action =11), all information associated with the object is saved in the specified file.

To determine if the application that created the object is running, use the ApplsRunning property.
