Examples

This example opens an OLE object in the file MYSTUFF.OLE and assigns it to the OLEStorage object olest_stuff. Then it opens the stream called info in olest_stuff and assigns it to the stream object olestr_info. It writes the contents of the blob variable lb_info to the stream olestr_info. Finally, it saves the storage olest_stuff:

boolean lb_memexists
OLEStorage olest_stuff
OLEStream olestr_info
integer li_result
long ll_result
 
olest_stuff = CREATE OLEStorage
li_result = olest_stuff.Open("c:\ole2\mystuff.ole")
IF li_result <> 0 THEN RETURN
 
li_result = olestr_info.Open(olest_stuff, "info", &
      stgReadWrite!, stgExclusive!)
IF li_result <> 0 THEN RETURN
ll_result = olestr_info.Write(lb_info)
IF ll_result = 0 THEN olest_stuff.Save()
