  Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
Object linking allows users to share a single source of data for a particular object.
With object embedding, one application (referred to as the "source") provides data or an image that will be contained in the document of another application (referred to as the "destination").
Because an embedded object has no links to the source file, the object is not updated if you change the original data.

  Object Linking and Embedding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a distributed object system and protocol developed by Microsoft.
The concept of "embedding" is also central to much use of multimedia in Web pages, which tend to embed video, animation (include Flash animations), and music files within the HTML code.
When an OLE object is placed on the clipboard, it is stored in native Windows formats (such as a bitmap or metafile), as well as being stored in its own, native format.

 Component Object Model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The purpose of AddRef() is to indicate to the COM object that an additional reference to itself has been effected and hence it is necessary to remain alive as long as this reference is still valid.
COM objects may be instantiated and referenced from within a process, across process boundaries within a computer, and across a network, using the DCOM technology.
The marshalling is invisible to the object and the code using the object.

 Baywalk - Technology Dock - PC Support Archive - Object Linking and Embedding - November 1992
With linking, the object is tied to the master or source document.
The client application stores some information for embedded objects, such as the target printer and page position, how the object is activated, and which server application is associated with the object.
The object handler for an application is usually used to improve performance, such as an improved screen refresh when an object is changed in the window of the client application.

 Object linking and embedding
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a Microsoft technology.
It was initially used primarily for copying and pasting data between different applications, especially using drag and drop[?], as well as for managing compound documents[?].
It later evolved to become an architecture for software components known as the component object model (COM).

 Dummies::Crystal Reports 10: Understanding Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
Linked objects are like visitors; they don't actually move to the container application.
This link means that whenever the original object in the server application is updated, the linked object in the container application is updated too.
Linking is best if your report must always reflect the latest data — and if you want the data in multiple applications to remain synchronized.

 What is OLE? Object Linking And Embedding Exchange Technique   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
An 'object' in this context is any piece of information produced in one program which you want to use in another; for example, a drawing from a graphics package that you want to include in a word processor document.
'Embedding' is the act of placing the object from one application into the other's document; 'linking' provides an invisible link between the copied object and its original, allowing any changes made to it to appear automatically in the embedded copy.
In OLE 2, the user need not even be aware that another application has been launched; when the object is selected for editing, the commands and icons of the originating application take the place on screen of those of the destination application, running seamlessly together.

In OLE an object is a piece of a document, a graphic, or some multimedia.
Linking creates a link to the actual object; embedding puts a copy of the object into the document.
These objects can contain not only data type and data structure information, but also information about how the object can be used by procedures.

Linking is the process by which you place only the object's presentation data and a pointer to its native data in a document.
When you link an object, the linked object remains part of the original (or source) document and simply is tied to the compound document via the OLE link.
By embedding, you have placed both the native and presentation data in the container file; the file is now much larger than it would have been had you simply linked the object to the container document.

 (V45) OBJECT LINKING AND EMBEDDING (OLE) IN ORACLE FORMS
An OLE object is embedded or linked in an OLE container, which is simply an item in Oracle Forms.
Embedded objects become part of the Oracle Forms module, and linked objects are references from a form module to a linked source file.
Linked vs. Embedded ------------------- A linked object is a reference from the form to a file.

 Object Oriented Technology
Object linking is the case where the object in a container document resides in another, separate document.
Object embedding is where the object actually resides in the container document.
Object oriented graphics systems are graphics systems which have an architecture organized into frameworks of objects that are hierarchically classified by function and performance.

 ACC: Why OLE Objects Cause Databases to Grow
The amount of information used to render the object is often greater than the size of the object itself.
The size of the OLE stream is the sum of the converted rendering object, the native data, and some OLE overhead information.
Storing an object as an icon causes the OLE server to send the object with rendering information consisting of only the icon rather than the complete object, using significantly less storage space in the database.

The difference between embedding an object in a document and cutting and pasting or linking data, is that you can edit the embedded object without leaving the application it's in.
After a link is established, any time you change data in the source document the data is automatically updated in the destination document.
The major difference between a document created using OLE objects and one created using the simple copy and paste and linking techniques that use the Clipboard is that you can edit embedded objects without leaving the client application.

 Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) with other Applications
Charts may be embedded into Windows applications that support Object Linking and Embedding, which allows users to access the data files used to create the chart by simply double-clicking on the chart in the application.
Of course, the application you are pasting into must support object embedding, or the chart will be pasted as a metafile or bitmap.
Otherwise, you will only be able to view the chart in the application, and double clicking on the embedded object will produce a warning message from the application.

 Object Linking
and Embedding
If you need a large quantity of separate objects, or you need text to break across line boundaries, it may be more practical to import the English into Smart Characters rather than the other way around, or use applications that are capable of displaying Chinese and Japanese as text.
The primary difference between linking and embedding is the location where the actual data for the object is stored.
The data for a linked object is stored outside the container document in a source document.

 OLE / ActiveX
An object from one application can be embedded or linked into another application’s data.
Linking an object enables changes to the original object to be reflected in the host document.
Because the spreadsheet is linked into the Word document, any changes made to the original Excel spreadsheet are reflected in the Word document when it is opened.

 Intel® ProShare® Conferencing Products - Using OLE Objects with the Shared Notebook
Objects created by one application and pasted into another are called OLE objects.
Embedding the object is similar to copying with one difference: when you double-click on the embedded object, the originating application opens so you can edit the object within that application.
It is when an OLE object is edited using a version older than the creating version, or older than the version last used to edit the object, that problems can arise.

 Object linking and embedding (OLE) (Windows only)
Photoshop is an OLE 2.0 server, which means it supports embedding or linking an image in an OLE container application (usually a word-processor or page-layout program).
Linking lets you place a link in the OLE container file that refers to the Photoshop file on the hard drive.
The linked image will be updated the next time you open the document in its OLE container application.

 Part 3.2 Linking or Embedding?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The choice depends on many factors, but primarily, if the object is likely to change and you need to ensure that every instance of that object in every compound document where it is used reflects the changes, then you should link the object.
If, on the other hand, the object is unlikely to change then probably you should embed it and you do not need to save the object in the server application.
Provided that the new logo is stored in a file with the same name and location as the previous one, all documents linked to it will be updated automatically when they are opened next and the new logo will appear in each document.

 MHR324&325.OLE.html
Microsoft products (and others) used on the Macintosh and DOS/Windows machines utilize OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) to allow the embedding of a cell, chart, object, or document into a document created in another application and to be able to edit and format an object from within another application.
All the information used to create the object is encapsulated in the embedded object that appears in the document.
If you want to change something, double-click on the embedded object to open it in the application in which it was created to make editing and formatting changes.

 Blogging for Beginners
Link Dump: A link dump is a technical term that many bloggers use when they have a lot of links to put out to their readers, but not enough time to talk about each one.
It is one thing to state fact or opinion on a subject, and another alltogether to provide some means for your reader to explore the subject on their own and come to their own conclusions.
When you paste that object into your listserve post, or your blog page, or your word document, the object, its HTML and its display instructions all go with.

 deconcept › SWFObject: Javascript Flash Player detection and embed script
To use the bypass link, simply link to the page with your Flash content on it, and include a single url variable called 'detectflash' and set it to 'false.' Here is an example of what that link would look like:
While this is the most common method of embedding your Flash movies, it does have a few issues.
When the Flash player encounters a Flash movie embedded in a page, it will try to play it no matter what the version is. So if you have Flash player 6 installed, and encounter a Flash 7 movie, your plug-in will try to play it, possibly causing odd behavior.

 kbAlertz: (98678) - OLE (object linking and embedding) version 2.0 container applications should never call ...
Consider the scenario in which a nested object is currently inplace active; that is, the container contains an object and this contained object in turn holds another object that is inplace active.
The container has a pointer only to the "outer" object, and is not aware of the "inner" object.
Objects capable of inplace activation should guard against this case, and never return IOleInPlaceActiveObject from QueryInterface.
