The information in this article applies to:
- The Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL), versions 2.0, 2.1, 3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
ATL[ASCII 146]s IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless::OnWindowMessage implementation
mistakenly returns a BOOL instead of an HRESULT indicating failure when it has
actually succeeded.
CAUSE
=====
IOleInPlaceObjectWindowless::OnWindowMessage should return S_OK if processed,
otherwise S_FALSE.
ATL passes on the return from value pT->ProcessWindowMessage, which returns
TRUE if processed, otherwise FALSE.
RESOLUTION
==========
Change the following line of source code in AtlCtl.h line 1829:
return pT->ProcessWindowMessage(pT->m_hWnd, msg, wParam,
lParam, *plResult);
to:
if (pT->ProcessWindowMessage(pT->m_hWnd, msg, wParam,
lParam, *plResult))
return S_OK;
else
return S_FALSE;
