SUMMARY
=======
CustWBC.exe is a sample that illustrates how you can control the WebBrowser
control that is embedded in an ATL HTML control. In particular, the sample
demonstrates three points:
1. How to provide a custom implementation of the IDocHostUIHandlerDispatch
interface. The custom implementation disables the context menu of the
WebBrowser control.
2. How to extend the functionality of the WebBrowser control with additional
methods accessible through window.external from within the control's HTML.
This feature is present in Wizard-generated code, but take special actions to
integrate this feature into your custom IDocHostUIHandlerDispatch.
3. How to provide a sink for the WebBrowser control events. The sink interface
presented here reacts when the browser notifies your control that the user
requested to navigate in a new browser window (by shift+clicking a link).
Instead of opening a new window, use the window already open to go to the
requested URL.

The implementation of the HTML control actually requires four separate objects:
the control itself, the object that implements the IDocHostUIHandlerDispatch
interface, the object that implements the extender methods, and the object that
implements the sink. You need all four objects because all of them need to
implement IDispatch.
The IDocHostUIHandlerDispatch implementation returns E_NOTIMPL for most of the
methods except the ShowContextMenu method. This method returns S_OK without
displaying anything. This convinces the WebBrowser control that it doesn't need
to do anything about the right button click.
The sink only implements the Invoke method of IDispatch as follows:
STDMETHOD (Invoke) (DISPID dispidMember, REFIID riid, LCID lcid,
WORD wFlags, DISPPARAMS* pdispparams, VARIANT* pvarResult,
EXCEPINFO* pexcepinfo, UINT* puArgErr)
{
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
if (pdispparams)
{
switch (dispidMember)
{
// When a request comes in asking for a new window, go to the
// URL specified in the request, but within the old Web browser window.
case DISPID_NEWWINDOW:
// case DISPID_FRAMENEWWINDOW:
if (m_pBrowser)
{
VARIANT defArg;
defArg.vt = VT_ERROR; defArg.scode = DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND;
m_pBrowser->Navigate(pdispparams->rgvarg[5].bstrVal,
&defArg, &defArg, pdispparams->rgvarg[2].pvarVal, &defArg);
}
*(pdispparams->rgvarg[0].pboolVal) = VARIANT_TRUE;
hr = S_OK;
break;
default:
hr = DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND;
break;
}
}
else
hr = DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND;
return hr;
}
Finally, the control's OnCreate method instantiates all these elements and sets
everything up.
