Displays a standard OLE dialog allowing the user to choose whether to embed or link the OLE object on the clipboard when pasting it in the specified control. Embedding is the equivalent of calling the Paste function, and linking is the same as calling PasteLink.

Integer. Returns 0 if it succeeds and one of the following values if an error occurs:

For information about when an object on the clipboard is linkable, see PasteLink.
If the clipboard contains an OLE object and the object’s server application is running, then the following example lets the user choose to embed or link the object in the control ole_1:
integer li_result
li_result = ole_1.PasteSpecial()
