SUMMARY
=======
The OLE2UI library is a 16-bit DLL provided with the 16-bit OLE SDK. It contains
a number of APIs that are useful for user interface (UI) related functionality.
However, beginning with Windows NT version 3.51, this DLL is no longer provided.
OLEDLG.DLL provides the dialog boxes that were included in OLE2UI. Two DLLs
(MFCUIW32 and MFCUIA32) essentially wrap the APIs from OLEDLG.DLL, providing the
ANSI and Unicode versions of the dialog boxes. If your application uses one of
the approximately 122 other APIs that are no longer provided, copy the source
code from the 32-bit version provided as a sample in the Visual C++ version 2.x
directory ...\SAMPLES\MFC\MFCUIX32.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The two DLLs (MFCUIW32 and MFCUIA32) support the following APIs:
OleUIAddVerbMenu
OleUIBusy
OleUICanConvertOrActivateAs
OleUIChangeIcon
OleUIChangeSource
OleUIConvert
OleUIEditLinks
OleUIInsertObject
OleUIObjectProperties
OleUIPasteSpecial
OleUIPromptUser
OleUIUpdateLinks
OLEDLG.DLL provides the A and W versions of these functions.
To use one of the other functions, you have two options:
- Create a DLL using the sample code, and statically link to the library. This
option is best if you were using a lot of the functions.
-or-
- Include the prototype for the function in one of your header files, and copy
the source code from the .cpp file in the MFCUIX32 directory to your .cpp
file. This option is probably best if you are using only one or two of the
functions. For example, if you would like to use
XformRectInPixelsToHimetric(), copy the prototype from \msvc20\...
\mfcuix32\olestd.h, line 433, and the source code from \msvc20\ ...
\mfcuix32\oleutl.cpp starting at line 401.

For a list of the API entry points that have been removed, please see the
project definition file (OLE2UI.DEF) in the \MSVC20\SAMPLES\MFC\MFCUIX32
directory.
