BUG: CL2TEST Handles Icon Aspect Incorrectly

 Last reviewed: May 17, 1995
Article ID: Q111339
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01
  • Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with: 

        - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

Selecting the iconic aspect when inserting an object in CL2TEST results in the object being created and displayed with the content aspect.

CAUSE

CL2TEST is passing the DVASPECT_CONTENT flag to the embedded object when calling IViewObject::Draw. The correct flag to pass is DVASPECT_ICON.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the CL2TEST test application included with the Object Linking and Embedding SDK version 2.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

To specify a custom FORMATETC when inserting an object into CL2TEST, choose the "Select FormatETC" button found on CL2TEST s Create Invisible dialog box (from the Insert menu, choose Object).
