I have posted the question with the same subject and similar content to microsoft.public.vc.mfcole and - after I was asked to do that - to microsoft.public.excel.programming. There I was said to post it here. I was said that my problem appears to be a bug in Excel. Is it a place that someone will help me? Or at least give me another place on MS site where I should post it... Here's the problem:
I've added new OLE verb to Scribble App, named it 'Add Random Triangle'. The problem is that I don't know how to make Excel refresh scribble object in all cases. The verb works fine with Word and PowerPoint, but it doesn't work in Excel in the following scenario:
1. Add a Scribble object to new Excel spreadsheet, draw a line inside. 2. save & close xls file. 3. Open saved file. 4. right-click on it and run 'Add Random Triangle' verb 5. NOTHING HAPPENS 6. if you open the Scribble object you will find there is a triangle added 7. close Scribble object edition, and add another random triangle - now it shows up.
So my question is how should I correctly update the object when it changes as a result on nonstandard verb?
Changes I've made to Scribble sample and earlier posts may be found at:
