IOleInPlaceSite (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The IOleInPlaceSite interface manages interaction between the container and the object's in-place client site. Recall that the client site is the display site for embedded objects, and provides position and conceptual information about the object.
This interface provides methods that manage in-place objects. With IOleInPlaceSite, you can determine if an object can be activated and manage its activation and deactivation. You can notify the container when one of its objects is being activated and inform the container that a composite menu will replace the container's regular menu. It provides methods that make it possible for the in-place object to retrieve the window object hierarchy, and the position in the parent window where the object should place its in-place activation window. Finally, it determines how the container scrolls the object, manages the object undo state, and notifies the object when its borders have changed.
When to Implement
You must implement this interface if you are writing a container application that will participate in in-place activation.
When to Use
Use this interface to allow your object to control in-place activation from within the container.
The IOleInPlaceSite interface pointer is obtained by calling QueryInterface on the object's IOleClientSite interface.
