IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless interface (ocidl.h)

Enables a windowless object to process window messages and participate in drag and drop operations. It is derived from and extends the IOleInPlaceObject interface.

A small object, such as a control, does not need a window of its own. Instead, it can rely on its container to dispatch window messages and help the object to participate in drag and drop operations. The container must implement the IOleInPlaceSiteWindowless interface. Otherwise, the object must act as a normal compound document object and create a window when it is activated.
