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.
