IOleInPlaceFrame

The IOleInPlaceFrame interface controls the container's top-level frame window. This control involves allowing the container to insert its menu group into the composite menu, install the composite menu into the appropriate window frame, and remove the container's menu elements from the composite menu. It sets and displays status text relevant to the in-place object. It also enables or disables the frame's modeless dialog boxes, and translates accelerator keystrokes intended for the container's frame.

When to Implement
You will need to implement this interface if you are writing a container application that will be participating in in-place activation.

When to Use
This interface is used by object applications to control the display and placement of composite menus, keystroke accelerator translation, context-sensitive help mode, and modeless dialog boxes.
