Inserting OLE Objects in a Form
Designing a Form - 169
How to Insert OLE Objects
1 Choose
Insert New Object...
in the Edit menu.
The Insert Object dialog box appears.
2 Select an object type in the
Object Type
list box.
3 Select one of the following:
•Select
Create New
to create a new object of the type selected
and embed it in your form. Proceed to step 4.
•Select
Create From File
to import a file of the type selected and
either embed it in or link it to your form. The dialog box
changes. Proceed to “Creating an OLE Object From a File” on
page 171.
4Select
Display As Icon
to display the object as an icon, rather
than displaying its actual content.
The
Change Icon...
button appears when
Display As Icon
is
selected. Click it to select a new icon for the object or to change
the icon’s name. By default, an object appears with the object
type name if it is unlinked and the source file name if it is
linked.
5 Click
OK.
How the object appears depends on the options you selected.
See “Creating a New OLE Object” on page 170 for detailed
information.
You cannot store an OLE object in the scrapbook.
