Description

TCreateInfo is used by TOleContainer's CreateObjectFromInfo method.

TCreateInfo represents how TOleContainer's CreateObjectFromInfo method should instantiate an OLE object. TCreateInfo's fields are described in the following table:

Fields	Meaning
CreateType	Describes the source of the object. See TCreateType for details.
ShowAsIcon	Indicates whether the object is shown as an icon (true) or displayed as it would be in the server application (false).
IconMetaPict	Specifies a global memory handle to a metafile picture (TMetaFilePict) to display in place of the OLE object's default icon. IconMetaPict is optional; When set to 0, the object's default icon is used (when ShowAsIcon is true).
ClassID	The class identifier of the OLE object to create. ClassID is only used when CreateType is ctNewObject. You can use the ProgIDToClassID function to get the class identifier for an OLE object's class name (or programmatic identifier).
FileName	The name of a file to link or embed as an OLE object. FileName is only used when CreateType is ctFromFile or ctLinkToFile.
DataObject	An OLE data transfer object. DataObject is only used when CreateType is ctFromData or ctLinkFromData.
