201231 - [AxPlugin] Implement windowless control support

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect)

Description

[Adam Lock]

The plugin should support windowless controls if possible. As the plugin is
itself is housed in a window, this may be pointless unless there are controls
out there which *only* run windowless.

The Windows Media Player control certainly prefers to render windowless but will
fallback to windowed mode.

I'll submit a work in progress patch which implements most of the changes but
still has problems with focus and passing windows messsages down.

Attachment: Work in progress

Patch pretty much rewrites the windowless support and has the first cut attempt
at dispatching messages. Code also cleans up a few bits and pieces in the
ControlSite class such as removing another STL dependency.

The ActiveX embedding API was removed in bug 662023 and friends, making this INVALID.
