| VSFlexGrid Control > VSFlexGrid Properties, Events, and Methods > VSFlexGrid Events > OLESetData Event |
Fired on the source component when a target component performs the GetData method on the source’s DataObject object.
Private Sub VSFlexGrid_OLESetData(Data As VSDataObject, DataFormat As Integer)
In certain cases, you may wish to defer loading data into the DataObject object of a source component to save time, especially if the source component supports many formats. This event allows the source to respond to only one request for a given format of data. When this event is called, the source should check the format parameter to determine what needs to be loaded and then perform the SetData method on the DataObject object to load the data which is then passed back to the target component.
The parameters for the OLESetData event are described below:
Data As vsDataObject
An object in which to place the requested data. The component calls the SetData method to load the requested format.
DataFormat As Integer
An integer specifying the format of the data that the target component is requesting. The source component uses this value to determine what to load into the DataObject object.
