OLEStream object

The OLEStream object acts as a proxy for an OLE stream.

You can customize your own version of the OLEStream object by defining a class user object inherited from the built-in OLEStream object.

For more information about creating a custom OLEStream object, see the chapter on user objects in the PowerBuilder Users Guide.

For more information about using the OLEStream object in an application, see Application Techniques.
