SYMPTOMS
========
In OLE drag-and-drop, when using COleDataSource::DelayRenderFileData() with the
default second parameter of NULL, COleDataSource::OnRenderFileData() may not be
called to request the actual data.
CAUSE
=====
When you call COleDataSource::DelayRenderFileData() with a clipboard format such
as CF_TEXT (or any other clipboard format) and the second parameter FORMATETC is
not specified (defaulting to NULL), _AfxFillFormatEtc() gets called. This
function creates a FORMATETC structure and populates it with default values--it
fills the "tymed" member of the FORMATETC structure with -1. Because the "tymed"
member is a DWORD, the value is effectively 0xffffffff, and therefore all TYMED
enumerations are supported.
However, COleDataSource::OnRenderFileData() or your override for this function,
is called only if the user of this data requests the data with a TYMED value of
TYMED_ISTREAM or TYMED_HGLOBAL.
Because DelayRenderFileData() specified that all the TYMED enumerations are
acceptable, a client may in fact ask for data with a TYMED value other than
TYMED_ISTREAM or TYMED_HGLOBAL. This results in an HRESULT of DATA_E_FORMATETC
being returned from IDataObject::GetData().
RESOLUTION
==========
The workaround is to call COleDataSource::DelayRenderFileData() with the second
parameter explicitly specified. For example:
FORMATETC fmt = {CF_TEXT, NULL, DVASPECT_CONTENT, -1,
TYMED_ISTREAM|TYMED_HGLOBAL};
// Class derived from ColeDataSource.
COleMyDataSource *pDataSrc;
pDataSrc = new COleMyDataSource();
pDataSrc->DelayRenderFileData(CF_TEXT, &fmt);
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET.
