IBrowserFrameState

This interface is implemented in IEFRAME and seems new to Windows Vista. Closer inspection may reveal it or something similar in some other module in an earlier Windows version. The IID is:

IBrowserFrameState

{D5493862-DC48-45DA-8BC9-57E225FF6595}

This interface is not completely undocumented. It doesn’t get even a declaration in any Windows SDK header, but the corresponding IID_IBrowserFrameState is defined in the UUID.LIB library.

Methods

The IBrowserFrameState methods are:

Offset	Method
0x0C	GetFrameMode
0x10	GetFrameOptions
0x14	GetTabbedBrowsingEnabled
0x18	AllowWindowManipulation
0x1C	GetFrameHWND
0x20	GetDialogContext
0x24	GetBrowserHWND
0x28	GetBrowserThreadID
0x2C	HasAssociatedDialogs
0x30	HasMultipleTabs
0x34	ProtectFocus
0x38	AllowFocusChange
0x3C	ProtectActivation
0x40	AllowActivation

Prototypes

The following are known from Microsoft’s symbol file for IEFRAME:

HRESULT GetFrameMode (BROWSWER_FRAME_MODE *);

HRESULT GetFrameOptions (ULONG *);

HRESULT GetTabbedBrowsingEnabled (BOOL *);

HRESULT AllowWindowManipulation (BOOL *);

HRESULT GetFrameHWND (HWND *);

HRESULT GetDialogContext (ULONG, DIALOG_CONTEXT);

HRESULT GetBrowserHWND (ULONG, HWND *);

HRESULT GetBrowserThreadID (HWND, ULONG *);

HRESULT HasAssociatedDialogs (ULONG, ULONG, BOOL *);

HRESULT HasMultipleTabs (BOOL *);

HRESULT ProtectFocus (ULONGLONG, BOOL);

HRESULT AllowFocusChange (BOOL *);

HRESULT ProtectActivation (BOOL);

with the following type definitions presumed for two undocumented enumerations:

typedef enum tagBROWSER_FRAME_MODE BROWSER_FRAME_MODE;

typedef enum tagDIALOG_CONTEXT DIALOG_CONTEXT;
