DVASPECT  SE250Z

The DVASPECT enumeration values specify the desired data or view aspect of the object when drawing or getting data.

typedef enum tagDVASPECT

    DVASPECT_CONTENT    = 1,

    DVASPECT_THUMBNAIL  = 2,

    DVASPECT_ICON       = 4,

    DVASPECT_DOCPRINT   = 8

} DVASPECT;

 

Elements

DVASPECT_CONTENT

Provides a representation of an object so it can be displayed as an embedded object inside of a container. This value is typically specified for compound document objects. The presentation can be provided for the screen or printer.

DVASPECT_THUMBNAIL

Provides a thumbnail representation of an object so it can be displayed in a browsing tool. The thumbnail is approximately a 120 by 120 pixel, 16-color (recommended) device-independent bitmap potentially wrapped in a metafile.

DVASPECT_ICON

Provides an iconic representation of an object.

DVASPECT_DOCPRINT

Provides a representation of the object on the screen as though it were printed to a printer using the Print command from the File menu. The described data may represent a sequence of pages.

 

Remarks

Values of this enumeration are used to define the dwAspect field of the FORMATETC8CSQ18 structure. Only one DVASPECT value can be used to specify a single presentation aspect in a FORMATETC structure. The FORMATETC structure is used in many OLE functions and interface methods that require information on data presentation.
