Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to implement the Ole Convert dialog for my extended
richtextbox. This dialog allows the user to convert an embedded object or
change how it is activated. One of the members of the structure is wFormat
which is the data format of the object to be converted or activated. Can
someone with more experience in the use of this dialog, please explain
what exactly is this format they are talking about. I know that it is used
during a search of the registry to find class entries with wFormat in
their \Conversion\Readable\Main, \Conversion\ReadWriteable\Main and
\DataFormats\DefaultFile entries and that these entries are then listed in
the listbox within this dialog. However I don't know exactly how to supply
the appropriate format given any arbitary embedded/linked object.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. I was unable to find any code on
the internet describing how to display this dialog (which I can do) and
what to do after the dialog returns. I have already implemented the Change
Icon dialog, so I would only be planning to use this dialog for conversion
purposes and not for changing aspects nor icons.

Regards and thanks for any help,
John Whattam.
