COleControlSite::CreateControl
Creates an ActiveX control, hosted by the COleControlSite object.
virtual HRESULT CreateControl(
CWnd* pWndCtrl,
REFCLSID clsid,
LPCTSTR lpszWindowName,
DWORD dwStyle,
const RECT& rect,
UINT nID,
CFile* pPersist = NULL,
BOOL bStorage = FALSE,
BSTR bstrLicKey = NULL
);
virtual HRESULT CreateControl(
CWnd* pWndCtrl,
REFCLSID clsid,
LPCTSTR lpszWindowName,
DWORD dwStyle,
const POINT* ppt,
const SIZE* psize,
UINT nID,
CFile* pPersist = NULL,
BOOL bStorage = FALSE,
BSTR bstrLicKey = NULL
);
Parameters
pWndCtrl
A pointer to the window object representing the control.clsid
The unique class ID of the control.lpszWindowName
A pointer to the text to be displayed in the control. Sets the value of the winodw's Caption or Text property (if any).dwStyle
Windows styles. The available styles are listed under the Remarks section.rect
Specifies the control's size and position. It can be either a CRect object or a RECT structure.nID
Specifies the control's child window ID.pPersist
A pointer to a CFile containing the persistent state for the control. The default value is NULL, indicating that the control initializes itself without restoring its state from any persistent storage. If not NULL, it should be a pointer to a CFile-derived object that contains the control's persistent data, in the form of either a stream or a storage. This data could have been saved in a previous activation of the client. The CFile can contain other data, but must have its read-write pointer set to the first byte of persistent data at the time of the call to CreateControl.bStorage
Indicates whether the data in pPersist should be interpreted as IStorage or IStream data. If the data in pPersist is a storage, bStorage should be TRUE. If the data in pPersist is a stream, bStorage should be FALSE. The default value is FALSE.bstrLicKey
Optional license key data. This data is needed only for creating controls that require a run-time license key. If the control supports licensing, you must provide a license key for the creation of the control to succeed. The default value is NULL.ppt
A pointer to a POINT structure that contains the upper-left corner of the control. The size of the control is determined by the value of psize. The ppt and psize values are an optional method of specifying the size and position opf the control.psize
A pointer to a SIZE structure that contains the size of the control. The upper-left corner is determined by the value of ppt. The ppt and psize values are an optional method of specifying the size and position opf the control.
Return Value
A standard HRESULT value.
Remarks
Only a subset of the Windows dwStyle flags are supported by CreateControl:
WS_VISIBLE Creates a window that is initially visible. Required if you want the control to be visible immediately, like ordinary windows.
WS_DISABLED Creates a window that is initially disabled. A disabled window cannot receive input from the user. Can be set if the control has an Enabled property.
WS_BORDER Creates a window with a thin-line border. Can be set if control has a BorderStyle property.
WS_GROUP Specifies the first control of a group of controls. The user can change the keyboard focus from one control in the group to the next by using the direction keys. All controls defined with the WS_GROUP style after the first control belong to the same group. The next control with the WS_GROUP style ends the group and starts the next group.
WS_TABSTOP Specifies a control that can receive the keyboard focus when the user presses the TAB key. Pressing the TAB key changes the keyboard focus to the next control of the WS_TABSTOP style.
Use the second overload to create default-sized controls.
