Description

Creates a linked OLE object from the contents of a file.

Call CreateLinkToFile to create a linked OLE object from the file specified by the FileName parameter. Iconic specifies whether the object is shown as an icon (true) or displayed as it would be in the server application (false). If there is already an OLE object in the container, it is destroyed and any changes the user made to it are discarded.
