Hey, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to make my application OLE linkable and/or embeddable?
My application produces images based on some textual input. Ideally, I want to be able to import an OLE object of one of these images in Microsoft Word (or any other program that can import OLE objects). Then, when I double click on the object, my application would open up for editing; when my application closes, any changes made would be shown in Microsoft Word inside the OLE object.
I found many resources talking about how to load an OLE object in your own application, but none about how to make your application save or create an OLE object that can be loaded into Microsoft Word and such.
A good example of what I want to do is Microsoft Equation Editor; you import the object, write an an expression, and it shows up in Microsoft Word. When you double click the object, you can edit the expression again, etc.
