Creating a Browser Class (Windows CE 5.0)
To create an Internet browser, you must define a class for the browser that inherits OLE interfaces to facilitate OLE activation. The following table shows the interfaces that the class must inherit.
Interface | Description |
---|---|
IOleContainer | This interface is used to enumerate objects in a compound document or to lock a container in the running state. Container and object applications both implement this interface. |
IOleClientSite | This interface is the primary means by which an embedded object obtains information about the location and the extent of its display site, moniker, user interface, and other resources provided by its container. |
IOleInPlaceSite | This interface manages interaction between the container and the object's in-place client site. The client site is the display site for embedded objects, and provides position and conceptual information about the object. |
IOleControlSite | This interface provides the methods that enable a site object to manage each embedded control within a container. A site object provides this interface as well as other site interfaces such as IOleClientSite and IOleInPlaceSite. When a control requires the services expressed through this interface, it will query one of the other client site interfaces for IOleControlSite. |
DWebBrowserEvents2 | This interface designates an event sink interface that an application must implement in order to receive event notifications from a WebBrowser control or from the Internet Explorer application. |
The following code example shows a browser class, CBrowser, that implements the browser object.
class CBrowser :
public IOleContainer,
public IOleClientSite,
public IOleInPlaceSite,
public IOleControlSite,
public DWebBrowserEvents2
{
public:
// Declare new and delete clear allocators.
inline void * __cdecl operator new(size_t cb) { return LocalAlloc(LPTR, cb); }
inline void __cdecl operator delete(void * pv) { LocalFree(pv); }
// Constructor and Destructor
CBrowser();
~CBrowser();
//IUnknown methods
STDMETHOD(QueryInterface) (REFIID riid, LPVOID * ppv)
{
//QueryInterface for IoleContainer.
if ((riid == IID_IOleContainer) || (riid == IID_IUnknown))
{
RETAILMSG(1, (L"Browser QueryInterface for IOleContainer"));
*ppv = (IOleContainer *) this;
}
else if (...//Inerface)
{
...//Query Interface for other interfaces.
}
AddRef();
return S_OK;
}

HRESULT CreateBrowserWindow(); // Create the main window.
HRESULT CreateBrowserObject(); // Create a web browser object.
HRESULT RegisterBrowserEventSink(); // Connect up the event sink
// private members
HWND _hWnd; //The main window
IoleObject *_pObject; // The browser object
IConnectionPoint *_pCP; // Pointer to the browser event connection-point (for DWebBrowserEvents2)
IWebBrowser2 *_pWB2; // Pointer to the Web browser object
BOOL _bInPlaceActive; // Determines if the document is active
DWORD _dwEventCookie; // Stores cookies that will be received when the
// browser registers to receive DWebBrowserEvents2
ULONG _ulRefs; //reference count for the interfaces supported by the
//container.
