OLE - object linking and embedding library.
| OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is Microsoft's framework for a compound document technology. Briefly, a compound document is something like a display desktop that can contain visual and information objects of all kinds: text, calendars, animations, sound, motion video, 3-D, continually updated news, controls, and so forth. Each desktop object is an independent program entity that can interact with a user and also communicate with other objects on the desktop. Part of Microsoft's ActiveX technologies, OLE takes advantage and is part of a larger, more general concept, the Component Object Model (COM) and its distributed version, DCOM. An OLE object is necessarily also a component (or COM object). Microsoft's OLE contains about 660 new function calls or individual program interfaces in addition to those already in Win32. For this reason, Microsoft provides the Foundation Class (MFC) Library, a set of ready-made classes that can be used to build container and server applications, and tools such as Visual C++. In the "Introduction to OLE" on its Developer Site, Microsoft says that "OLE" no longer stands for "Object Linking and Embedding," but just for the letters "OLE." |
