BUG: Embedded Object's Size Changes When it Is Run

ID: Q110872

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01
• Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with:

      - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
      - Microsoft Windows 95
  

SYMPTOMS

A non-running embedded object is resized in an OLE 2.01 container application. The next time the object is run, it snaps back to its previous size.

CAUSE

The container application failed to call IOleObject::SetExtent() after calling OleRun().

RESOLUTION

IOleObject::SetExtent() can be called only when an object is running. If an object is resized while it is not running, the container application should take note of this. When the object is subsequently run, the container should then inform the object of its new size by calling IOleObject::SetExtent().

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base when it becomes available.
