Requirements

Header: atlctl.h

IOleObjectImpl::Advise

Establishes an advisory connection with the control.

STDMETHOD(Advise)(
    IAdviseSink* pAdvSink,
    DWORD* pdwConnection);

Remarks

See IOleObject::Advise in the Windows SDK.

IOleObjectImpl::Close

Changes the control state from running to loaded.

STDMETHOD(Close)(DWORD dwSaveOption);

Remarks

Deactivates the control and destroys the control window if it exists. If the control class data member CComControlBase::m_bRequiresSave is TRUE and the dwSaveOption parameter is either OLECLOSE_SAVEIFDIRTY or OLECLOSE_PROMPTSAVE, the control properties are saved before closing.

The pointers held in the control class data members CComControlBase::m_spInPlaceSite and CComControlBase::m_spAdviseSink are released, and the data members CComControlBase::m_bNegotiatedWnd, CComControlBase::m_bWndless, and CComControlBase::m_bInPlaceSiteEx are set to FALSE.

See IOleObject::Close in the Windows SDK.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerb

Tells the control to perform one of its enumerated actions.

STDMETHOD(DoVerb)(
    LONG iVerb,
    LPMSG /* pMsg */,
    IOleClientSite* pActiveSite,
    LONG /* lindex */,
    HWND hwndParent,
    LPCRECT lprcPosRect);

Remarks

Depending on the value of iVerb, one of the ATL DoVerb helper functions is called as follows:

iVerb Value	DoVerb helper function called
OLEIVERB_DISCARDUNDOSTATE	DoVerbDiscardUndo
OLEIVERB_HIDE	DoVerbHide
OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE	DoVerbInPlaceActivate
OLEIVERB_OPEN	DoVerbOpen
OLEIVERB_PRIMARY	DoVerbPrimary
OLEIVERB_PROPERTIES	CComControlBase::DoVerbProperties
OLEIVERB_SHOW	DoVerbShow
OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE	DoVerbUIActivate

See IOleObject::DoVerb in the Windows SDK.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbDiscardUndo

Tells the control to discard any undo state it is maintaining.

HRESULT DoVerbDiscardUndo(LPCRECT /* prcPosRect */, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control.

Return Value

Returns S_OK.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbHide

Deactivates and removes the control's user interface, and hides the control.

HRESULT DoVerbHide(LPCRECT /* prcPosRect */, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control. Not used in the ATL implementation.

Return Value

Returns S_OK.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbInPlaceActivate

Runs the control and installs its window, but does not install the control's user interface.

HRESULT DoVerbInPlaceActivate(LPCRECT prcPosRect, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control. Not used in the ATL implementation.

Return Value

One of the standard HRESULT values.

Remarks

Activates the control in place by calling CComControlBase::InPlaceActivate. Unless the control class's data member m_bWindowOnly is TRUE, DoVerbInPlaceActivate first attempts to activate the control as a windowless control (possible only if the container supports IOleInPlaceSiteWindowless). If that fails, the function attempts to activate the control with extended features (possible only if the container supports IOleInPlaceSiteEx). If that fails, the function attempts to activate the control with no extended features (possible only if the container supports IOleInPlaceSite). If activation succeeds, the function notifies the container the control has been activated.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbOpen

Causes the control to be open-edited in a separate window.

HRESULT DoVerbOpen(LPCRECT /* prcPosRect */, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control.

Return Value

Returns S_OK.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbPrimary

Defines the action taken when the user double-clicks the control.

HRESULT DoVerbPrimary(LPCRECT prcPosRect, HWND hwndParent);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control.

Return Value

One of the standard HRESULT values.

Remarks

By default, set to display the property pages. You can override this in your control class to invoke a different behavior on double-click; for example, play a video or go in-place active.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbShow

Tells the container to make the control visible.

HRESULT DoVerbShow(LPCRECT prcPosRect, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters

prcPosRec
[in] Pointer to the rectangle the container wants the control to draw into.

hwndParent
[in] Handle of the window containing the control. Not used in the ATL implementation.

Return Value

One of the standard HRESULT values.

IOleObjectImpl::DoVerbUIActivate

Activates the control's user interface and notifies the container that its menus are being replaced by composite menus.

HRESULT DoVerbUIActivate(LPCRECT prcPosRect, HWND /* hwndParent */);

Parameters
