COleClientItem::CreateLinkFromClipboard

BOOLCreateLinkFromClipboard(OLERENDERrender**=OLERENDER_DRAW,CLIPFORMATcfFormat=0,LPFORMATETClpFormatEtc=NULL);**

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Parameters

render

Flag specifying how the server will render the OLE item. For the possible values, see in the OLE documentation.

cfFormat

Specifies the Clipboard data format to be cached when creating the OLE item.

lpFormatEtc

Pointer to a structure used if render is OLERENDER_FORMAT or OLERENDER_DRAW. Provide a value for this parameter only if you want to specify additional format information beyond the Clipboard format specified by cfFormat. If you omit this parameter, default values are used for the other fields in the FORMATETC structure.

Remarks

Call this function to create a linked item from the contents of the Clipboard. You typically call this function from the message handler for the Paste Link command on the Edit menu. (The Paste Link command is enabled in the default implementation of COleDocument if the Clipboard contains an OLE item that can be linked to.)

For more information, see and in the OLE documentation.
