What the OleControl Shows
When a loaded object is not active in the control, an image similar to a picture box is displayed; for example:
-
The first frame of the inserted video
-
The image of a bitmap
-
The first page of a Word for Windows document
-
An image of an Excel spread sheet
The OLE control provides scroll bars if the image is bigger than the control, to enable the whole image to be viewed. This image is defined by the OLE Server, which is just an icon in some cases.
