IOleInPlaceComponent Interface
Allows in-place VSPackage objects to operate as a fully integrated component of the environment by using the SOleComponentUIManager service.

Remarks
The SOleComponentUIManager service is an alternative to the traditional OLE in-place activation. Rather than require the in-place object to participate in menu merging, this service integrates the menus, toolbars, and commands of the object into the environment and issues notifications of state changes.

Notes to Implementers:
VSPackages implement IOleInPlaceComponent if they support an in-place object with UI elements that should be integrated into the environment's user interface. IOleInPlaceComponent is also implemented if the VSPackage wants to participate in handling the in-place object's commands when it activates.
In-place VSPackage objects that implement IOleInPlaceComponent also implement IOleInPlaceObject, IOleInPlaceActiveObject and IOleCommandTarget. To initiate use of the SOleComponentUIManager services, an in-place object calls IOleInPlaceActiveObject when it activates.
Notes to Callers:
The environment's SOleComponentUIManager service makes calls to an in-place VSPackage object's IOleInPlaceComponent interface to communicate state changes and allow the object to handle commands. The environment calls an in-place object's QueryInterface method using the IOleInPlaceObject interface to receive an IOleInPlaceComponent pointer.
