Parameters
Return Value
Remarks
As part of activating a document object, a container must hand the object a pointer to the container’s implementation of IOleInPlaceSite. This pointer designates the document view site that is to be associated with the particular view of the document to be activated.
A container normally passes this pointer in response to a document’s request to be activated. A document makes such a request by calling IOleDocumentSite::ActivateMe and handing the container a pointer to the view to be activated. The container, in turn, uses this pointer to call IOleDocumentView::SetInPlaceSite.
If the container is requesting creation and activation of a new instance of a document object, rather than merely the activation of a loaded instance of a document object, the semantics of SetInPlaceSite are encompassed in the pIPSite argument of IOleDocument::CreateView. Therefore, an explicit call to SetInPlaceSite is unnecessary.
If this method is called on a view that already has an associated view site, the view must do some housekeeping in preparation for activating itself in the new site. First, the view must deactivate itself in the current site. Second, the view must release its pointer to that site. Third, if the new IOleInPlaceSite pointer is not NULL, the view should both save the pointer and call AddRef on it. Having completed these steps, the view should then wait for the container to tell it when to activate itself in the new view site.
A document view must implement this method completely. Therefore E_NOTIMPL is not an acceptable return value.
