How to use structured storage (compound files)

[Michael Fischer]

Hi there,


I have browsed through my MSDN, looked into www.microsoft.com and several

vb-related sites, but I haven't found any sample of how to use

IPersistStream and the other interfaces concerning structured storage files

(sometimes refered to as ole compound files) with VB. What I'm looking for

is a kind of "translation" of the samples from chapters 7 and 8 from

Brockschmidt's "Inside OLE" into VB.


Can anyone help?


TIA,


Michael

Hi Michael


I don't know if this helps, but Ben Baird (from the Visual Thunder/CCRP site) has a typelibrary for IPersist/IPersistFile which you can incorporate into your app.
