Remarks
Notes to Callers
Calling this method before calling IOleDocumentView::SetInPlaceSite returns E_UNEXPECTED, because the view must be associated with a view site before it can activate itself.When IOleDocumentView::UIActivate is called as part of the activation sequence, the call should precede a call to IOleDocumentView::SetRect or IOleDocumentView::SetRectComplex, because otherwise the view dimensions would not account for toolbar space.
To deactivate a view, the container should call IOleDocumentView::Show with FALSE, followed by IOleDocumentView::UIActivate with FALSE.
Notes to Implementers
Implementations of this method should embody the following pseudocode.if (fActivate)
{
UI activate the view (do menu merging, show frame level tools, process accelerators)
Take focus, and bring the view window forward.
}
else
call IOleInPlaceObject::UIDeactivate on this view
In addition, the view can and should participate in extended Help menu merging.
All views of a document object must support in-place activation. E_NOTIMPL is not an acceptable return value.
