Creating an OLE Control

The JADE Painter handles the OLE control as it does for any other control, although it is displayed like an empty picture box, for example.

An object can be inserted or edited in the control in Painter, or programmatically at run time.

In Painter, to initiate a dialog form that displays a folder with the options listed in the following table, click on the OleControl palette button or the oleObject property in the Specific sheet of the Properties dialog.

Option	Action
Create New	Initiates the application and creates a new object
Embed from file	Builds an object based on a copy of the file
Link from File	Builds an object based on the file that must be available for subsequent access
