BUG: Win32 SDK Version 3.5 Bug List - OLE

MORE INFORMATION

• Packager will report that there is not enough memory when you try to package a file which is in use.
• VB can't activate Word object if Word is running in separate VDM.
• MFC 2.5 OLE 2.0 Automation Server fails initialization.
• If a client thread terminates without calling CoUnitialize(), its servers in the same process are not released.
• OLE 2.0 hides application aborts. The server does not receive the exception.
• CoCreateInstance() returns REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG when the object create fails, instead of the return code from DllGetClassObject() from the inproc server DLL.
• OLE objects inherit only "system" environment variables, not "user" environment variables.
• Users can log on and start an ole app before the OLE service is autostarted.
• Passing CoMarshalInterface() a NULL pUnk (pointer to IUnknown) causes an access violation.
• CoGetClassObject() returns E_OUTOFMEMORY when DllGetClassObject() fails.
• If an OLE Server which dies after registering its class, the container will stall waiting for CoGetClassObject() to succeed.
• Class cache never shrinks - all classes are treated as InUse.
• Default handler causes RPC_E_FAULT exceptions during OnClose.
• ::SetColorScheme() does not validate lpLogPal.
• Messages for server ownerdraw menuitems on menu bar go to the container.
• The server is started if you "Insert" a "Link from File" choosing icon format.
• IsLinkUpToDate() returns S_FALSE after object creation. This can cause containers to run the server twice during creation of the object.
• Setting the link source with IOL::SetSourceMoniker() does not update the presentation cache, even though it does run the server app.
• AddRef() does not marshall count back properly for return value.
• BindToStorage() on non-existent file returns MK_E_INVALIDEXTEN.
• IOleCache::Cache() fails for ICON aspect unless metafile format is used.
• IOleCache2::DiscardCache() does not persist uncaches.
• If an enhanced metafile node exists and IOleCache::Cache is used to cache multiple NULL FORMATETCs, a node is added.
• IViewObject::GetColorSet() after flushing cache should return OLE_E_BLANK, but signals Win32 error 0x8007000e.
• OleDuplicateMedium() does not GlobalUnlock() source METAFILEPICT in the error case.
• Iconic aspect has incorrect colors when played in metafile.
• OLE Cache has a limit of 100 nodes, but accepts more and never returns from the call.
• GetColorSet() for WMF should return LOGPALLETE, which is the union of colors used in the contained CreatePalette() calls. GetColorSet() only returns the first colorset found in this case.
