Windows® 98 Unleashed

Summary

This chapter showed you how to share data in Windows 98 using OLE. I gave you an extensive look at OLE theory—including compound documents, objects, linking, and embedding—and then I showed you how to put OLE to good use in your applications.

Here's a list of chapters where you'll find related information:

• To refresh your memory on some Registry basics, head for Chapter 12, “Getting to Know the Windows 98 Registry.”

• You're using OLE when you cut, copy, and paste files and when you create shortcuts. I showed you how to do all these things in Chapter 14, “File and Folder Tricks and Techniques.”

• I'll show you how to share data between Windows and DOS applications in Chapter 23, “DOS Isn't Dead: Unleashing the DOS Shell.”
