IShellBrowser::OnViewWindowActive method (shobjidl_core.h)

  • Article

Called by the Shell view when the view window or one of its child windows gets the focus or becomes active.

Syntax

HRESULT OnViewWindowActive(
  IShellView *pshv
);

Parameters

pshv

Type: IShellView*

Address of the view object's IShellView pointer.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

Returns S_OK if successful, or a COM-defined error value otherwise.

Remarks

The view must pass its IShellView implementation to this routine, although the current version of Windows Explorer does not use this parameter.

Notes to Callers

The Shell view object must call this method before calling the IShellBrowser::InsertMenusSB method. This method will insert a different set of menu items depending on whether the view has the focus.

Notes to Implementers

This method informs the browser that the view is getting the focus (when the mouse is clicked on the view, for example).
