Normal State

The Normal state is where the form object spends most of its time, waiting for client applications to initiate an action such as saving changes or closing the form. The following table describes allowed transitions from the Normal state.

IPersistMessage method	Action	New state
IPersistMessage::Save( pMessage == NULL, fSameAsLoad == TRUE) -or- IPersistMessage::Save( pMessage != NULL, fSameAsLoad == FALSE)	Recursively save any embedded OLE objects that have been modified. Save message data back to the message object. Store the fSameAsLoad flag for later use in the NoScribble state.	NoScribble
IPersistMessage::Save( pMessage != NULL, fSameAsLoad == TRUE)	This is the same as the previous case, except that this Save call is used in low-memory situations and must not fail for lack of memory.	NoScribble
IPersistMessage::HandsOffMessage	Recursively invoke the HandsOffMessage method on embedded messages or the OLE IPersistStorage::HandsOffStorage method on embedded OLE objects. Release the message object and any embedded messages or objects.	HandsOffFromNormal
IPersistMessage::SaveCompleted, IPersistMessage::InitNew or IPersistMessage::Load	Set the last error to and return E_UNEXPECTED.	Normal
IPersistMessage::GetLastError	Return the last error.	Normal
Other IPersistMessage : IUnknown methods or methods from other interfaces	Implement as described in the documentation for the IPersistMessage : IUnknown interface.	Normal
