Description

The uOleContainer widget allows you to embed or define links to Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects in your Uniface applications. The uOleContainer can contain only one embedded or linked OLE object, although you can have more than one uOleContainer on a form. This widget allows you to integrate OLE objects (such as audio files, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and so on) into Uniface applications.

This widget is available only for Microsoft Windows 2000 and higher.

The UOLEINSERTOBJECT function allows you to access the OLE pointer held in Uniface. This function must be exported as follows:

XEXPORT (void) UOLEINSERTOBJECT (void)

If the user focuses on the uOleContainer, by pressing either GOLD D or Control+D, the Detail trigger is activated.
