Notes to Callers

This method is called by an active object's immediate container to deactivate the active object and discard its undo state.

Notes to Implementors

On return from IOleInPlaceObject::InPlaceDeactivate, the object discards its undo state. The object application should not shut down immediately after this call. Instead, it should wait for an explicit call to IOleObject::Close or for the object's reference count to reach zero.

Before deactivating, the object application should give the container a chance to put its user interface back on the frame window by calling IOleInPlaceSite::OnUIDeactivate.

If the in-place user interface is still visible during the call to InPlaceDeactivate, the object application should call its own IOleInPlaceObject::UIDeactivate method to hide the user interface. The in-place user interface can be optionally destroyed during calls to IOleInPlaceObject::UIDeactivate and IOleInPlaceObject::InPlaceDeactivate. But if the user interface has not already been destroyed when the container calls IOleObject::Close, then it must be destroyed during the call to IOleObject::Close.

During the call to IOleObject::Close, the object should check to see whether it is still active in place. If so, it should call InPlaceDeactivate.
