CDocItem::GetDocument
Call this function to get the document that contains the item.
CDocument* GetDocument() const;
Return Value
A pointer to the document that contains the item; NULL, if the item is not part of a document.
Remarks
This function is overridden in the derived classes COleClientItem and COleServerItem, returning a pointer to either a COleDocument, a COleLinkingDoc, or a COleServerDoc object.
CDocItem::IsBlank
Called by the framework when default serialization occurs.
virtual BOOL IsBlank() const;
Return Value
Nonzero if the item contains no information; otherwise 0.
Remarks
By default, CDocItem objects are not blank. COleClientItem objects are sometimes blank because they derive directly from CDocItem. However, COleServerItem objects are always blank. By default, OLE applications containing COleClientItem objects that have no x or y extent are serialized. This is done by returning TRUE from an override of IsBlank when the item has no x or y extent.
Override this function if you want to implement other actions during serialization.
