How To Getting IHlinkFrame from Within a Hyperlink Target

SUMMARY

In an example in the Hyperlinking section of the documentation, the Internet Client SDK indicates that an Active Document application can retrieve the IHlinkFrame interface from its container by calling QueryInterface on the container's IOleInPlaceFrame object and asking for IID_IHlinkFrame.

For Internet Explorer (IE), this will fail. The correct way to retrieve IHlinkFrame is through the IServiceProvider interface.

   IHlinkFramePtr pHLFrame;
   IOleClientSitePtr pCS = m_lpClientSite;
   IServiceProviderPtr pSP = pCS;
   pSP->QueryService(SID_SHlinkFrame, IID_IHlinkFrame,
      (void**)&pHLFrame);
