SUMMARY
=======
The OLE2BIN sample demonstrates how to save and load an MFC COleClientItem from
a Access database (.mdb file). The storage and any COleClientItem data are
stored.
STEP2 of the Container tutorial sample was used as the starting point to
demonstrate this technique. A Database menu was added, with two submenus, Save
Object and Load Object. To save an object to the database, click a
COleClientItem to select it and then click Save Object on the Database menu. You
will be asked to provide a name for the object, which can then be used later to
load the object from the database.
To load an object, click Load Object on the Database menu. You will be asked to
select an object that was previously saved. When you first run the sample, there
is an object that has already been placed in the database.

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current
virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was
posted. The file is stored on secure servers that prevent any unauthorized
changes to the file.
The core functionality of the sample is located in two functions,
CContainerView::OnDatabaseLoad() and CContainerView::OnDatabaseSave().
Below is the code for the OnDatabaseSave() function. The only item that is not
well documented is the m_bForceFlat member. This member tells the archive to
store the data without creating additional substorages. All the data is saved
into the one stream.
NOTE: Because the COleClientItem is serialized, not only is the OLE storage
saved, but all of the COleClientItem's data (position, display aspect, and so
on) is also saved.
Here is the OnDatabaseSave() method:
------------------------------------
static const TCHAR szContents[] = _T("Contents");
#define INITIAL_ALLOC_SIZE 100000
void CContainerView::OnDatabaseSave()
{
LPLOCKBYTES pLockBytes = NULL;
LPSTORAGE pStorage = NULL;
ASSERT(m_pSelection != NULL);
CNameDlg dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDCANCEL || dlg.m_Name == "")
{
return;
}
CDatabase db;
if (!db.OpenEx("DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb);DBQ=BinDB.MDB;FIL=MS Access for Microsoft
Access;UID=Admin;PWD=;"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Access ODBC Driver not installed");
return;
}
CObjectSet rs(&db);
rs.Open();
rs.AddNew();
rs.m_Name = dlg.m_Name;
GlobalFree(rs.m_OleObject.m_hData);
rs.m_OleObject.m_hData = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE,
INITIAL_ALLOC_SIZE);
if (FAILED(CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal(rs.m_OleObject.m_hData,FALSE,
&pLockBytes)))
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to retrieve LockBytes");
return;
}
if (FAILED(StgCreateDocfileOnILockBytes(pLockBytes, STGM_DIRECT |
STGM_CREATE | STGM_READWRITE | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, 0,
&pStorage)))
{
AfxMessageBox("Failure creating storage on LockBytes");
pLockBytes->Release();
return;
}
COleStreamFile file;
CFileException fe;
if (!file.CreateStream(pStorage, szContents,
CFile::modeReadWrite|CFile::shareExclusive|CFile::modeCreate,
&fe))
{
AfxThrowFileException(fe.m_cause, fe.m_lOsError);
}
// save to Contents stream
CArchive saveArchive(&file, CArchive::store |
CArchive::bNoFlushOnDelete);
saveArchive.m_pDocument = GetDocument();
saveArchive.m_bForceFlat = TRUE;
TRY
{
m_pSelection->Serialize(saveArchive);
saveArchive.Close();
file.Close();
// commit the storage
SCODE sc = pStorage->Commit(STGC_ONLYIFCURRENT);
if (sc != S_OK)
AfxThrowOleException(sc);
}
CATCH_ALL(e)
{
file.Abort(); // will not throw an exception
THROW_LAST();
}
END_CATCH_ALL
rs.SetFieldDirty(&rs.m_OleObject);
rs.SetFieldNull(&rs.m_OleObject, FALSE);
STATSTG statstg;
pLockBytes->Stat(&statstg, STATFLAG_NONAME);
rs.m_OleObject.m_dwDataLength = statstg.cbSize.LowPart;
rs.Update();
rs.Close();
pLockBytes->Release();
pStorage->Release();
}
Here is the OnDatabaseLoad() method, which is just the opposite of the
OnDatabaseSave() method:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void CContainerView::OnDatabaseLoad()
{
LPSTORAGE pStorage = NULL;
LPLOCKBYTES pLockBytes = NULL;
// Make certain there are objects in the database
// If there are, bring up dialog for user to select an object
CDatabase db;
if (!db.OpenEx("DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb);DBQ=BinDB.MDB;FIL=MS Access for Microsoft
Access;UID=Admin;PWD=;"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Access ODBC Driver not installed");
return;
}
CObjNameSet rsObjName(&db);
rsObjName.Open();
if (rsObjName.IsEOF())
{
rsObjName.Close();
AfxMessageBox("No objects exist in the database.");
return;
}
CObjDlg dlg(&rsObjName);
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)
{
return;
}
rsObjName.Close();
CObjectSet rs(&db);
CContainerItem * pItem = new CContainerItem;
rs.m_strFilter = "Name = '" + dlg.m_ObjectName + "'";
rs.Open();
if (FAILED(CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal(rs.m_OleObject.m_hData, FALSE,
&pLockBytes)))
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to retrieve LockBytes");
return;
}
HRESULT hr = StgOpenStorageOnILockBytes(pLockBytes, NULL,
STGM_DIRECT | STGM_READ | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE , NULL,
0, &pStorage);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
AfxMessageBox("Failure opening storage");
pLockBytes->Release();
return;
}
COleStreamFile file;
CFileException fe;
if (!file.OpenStream(pStorage, szContents,
CFile::modeRead|CFile::shareExclusive, &fe))
{
if (fe.m_cause == CFileException::fileNotFound)
AfxThrowArchiveException(CArchiveException::badSchema);
else
AfxThrowFileException(fe.m_cause, fe.m_lOsError);
}
CArchive loadArchive(&file, CArchive::load |
CArchive::bNoFlushOnDelete);
loadArchive.m_pDocument = GetDocument();
loadArchive.m_bForceFlat = TRUE;
TRY
{
pItem->Serialize(loadArchive); // load main contents
loadArchive.Close();
file.Close();
}
CATCH_ALL(e)
{
file.Abort(); // will not throw an exception
// remove item because it didn't fully loaded
GetDocument()->RemoveItem(pItem);
THROW_LAST();
}
END_CATCH_ALL
rs.Close();
db.Close();
pLockBytes->Release();
GetDocument()->UpdateAllViews(NULL);
}
