Stream OLE objects into a CRichEditCtrl

[CodeBrain]

I am trying for several days to stream RTF text which contains OLE objects (bitmaps) into a CRichEditCtrl. StreamOut works absolutly perfect. If I save the streamed out string to a file, I see the objects if I open the file with wordpad. But if I try to stream the string back into an other control, I only get the plain RTF formatted text and the OLE objects are missing! So, is it not possible to stream in OLE objects into a RTF control? What need to be done if I want to stream RTF text incl. OLE objects into a CRichEditCtrl? Thanks in advance.

Well, it seems the other control isn't handling the ole objects (like, duh!). Look into GetIRichEditOle and SetOLECallback. I haven't tried implementing them myself, but they look to be the key things to get this to work. Joel Lucsy

Thanks for you answer. I also found that OLE stuff, but I am not sure what I should do with it. The M$ "documentation" of the OLE interface of CRichEditCtrl is practically nothing. :mad: I also think, that somewhere in the CRichEditVIEW and CRichEditDOC classes something similar must be done in order to load RTF text with OLE objects. But unfortunately I can't use CRichEditView. I hope someone can give me a hint about it.

I think this comment in Codeguru can be the solution of the problem: http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/27104.shtml We must implement the IRichEditOleCallback interface. The most important method seems to be GetNewStorage! You can find the full code if you follow the link above!
