MiscFlags Property

See AlsovbproMiscFlagsSee

Applies To

OLE control2HQDVVU.

Description

Provides access to one or more additional features of the OLE control.

Syntax

[form.]ole.MiscFlags = setting

Settings

The MiscFlags settings are:

Constant                                        Value   Description

OLE_MISCFLAG_MEMSTORAGE       1      Causes the control to use memory to store the object while it is loaded.

OLE_MISCFLAG_DISABLEINPLACE   2      Overrides the control's default behaviour of allowing in-place activation for objects that support it.

Remarks

The MEMSTORAGE flag setting is faster than the default, which is to store it on disk as a temporary file.  This setting can, however, consume a great deal of memory for objects whose data requires a lot of space, such as a bitmap for a paint program.

If an object supports in-place editing, you can use the DISABLEINPLACE setting to force the object to activate in a separate window.

To combine values, use the Or operator.  For example, to combine both flags, you could use this code:

Ole1.MiscFlags = OLE_MISCFLAG_MEMSTORAGE Or OLE_MISCFLAG_DISABLEINPLACE
