Remarks
Notes to Callers
The IOleInPlaceUIWindow::GetBorder function, when called on a document or frame window object, returns the outer rectangle (relative to the window) where the object can put toolbars or similar controls.If the object is to install these tools, it should negotiate space for the tools within this rectangle using IOleInPlaceUIWindow::RequestBorderSpace and then call IOleInPlaceUIWindow::SetBorderSpace to get this space allocated.
Note While executing IOleInPlaceUIWindow::GetBorder, do not make calls to the PeekMessage or GetMessage functions, or a dialog box. Doing so may cause the system to deadlock. There are further restrictions on which OLE interface methods and functions can be called from within GetBorder.
