The Uninitialized state is the initial state form objects should be in when they are first created. Form objects become initialized with message data when a client application calls the IPersistMessage::InitNew or IPersistMessage::Load method on the form object. The following table describes allowed transitions from the Unitialized state.

IPersistMessage method	Action	New state
IPersistMessage::InitNew	Load the form object with default data.	Normal
IPersistMessage::Load	Load the form object with data from the target message.	Normal
IPersistMessage::GetClassID	Return success, or set the last error to and return E_UNEXPECTED.	Uninitialized
IPersistMessage::GetLastError	Return the last error.	Uninitialized
Other IPersistMessage : IUnknown methods or methods from other interfaces	Set the last error to and return E_UNEXPECTED.	Uninitialized
