Comments

Five types of windows comprise the windows hierarchy. When a object is active in place, it has access to some or all of these windows:

Window	Description
Frame	The outermost main window where the container application's main menu resides.
Document	The window that displays the compound document containing the embedded object to the user.
Pane	The subwindow of the document window that contains the object's view. Applicable only for applications with split-pane windows.
Parent	The container window that contains that object's view. The object application installs its window as a child of this window.
In-place	The window containing the active in-place object. The object application creates this window and installs it as a child of its hatch window, which is a child of the container's parent window.

Each type of window has a different role in the in-place activation architecture. However, it is not necessary to employ a separate physical window for each type. Many container applications use the same window for their frame, document, pane, and parent windows.
