Docking Window Interfaces
Docking windows require the use of four interfaces:
IObjectWithSite,
IDockingWindow,
IDockingWindowFrame, and
IDockingWindowSite. In the remainder of this
section, we’ll discuss the four interfaces and their members
that are relevant to developing docking windows.
IObjectWithSite
The shell provides a site pointer
to the docking window via the IObjectWithSite
interface in a manner similar to browser helper objects or band
objects. The primary object—that is, the object that will
create the docking window—uses
IObjectWithSite to obtain references to
IServiceProvider and, optionally,
IWebBrowser2. The secondary component, which is
the actual docking window implementation, uses
IObjectWithSite to obtain
IDockingWindowFrame.
IObjectWithSite is summarized in Table 14.2, but for a more complete discussion, please
refer to Chapter 12.

IDockingWindow
We
have already discussed IDockingWindow. If you
remember our discussion of band objects, the
IDeskband interface is derived from
IDockingWindow. There is nothing new that we need
to discuss concerning this interface. Table 14.1
provides a refresher course on the interface and on
IOleWindow, the interface from which it is
derived, but if you would like more detail, see Chapter 13. Methods marked with an asterisk are not
implemented.
