303829 - The mozilla activex control doesn't fire the DISPID_WINDOWCLOSING event when window.close is called

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[Matthew Allen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

If you attach a DWebBrowserEvents2 event sink to the mozilla activex control you
can receive DISPID_NEWWINDOW2 events but you don't get the corrasponding
DISPID_WINDOWCLOSING event to allow you to close the new window. In fact you get
no event at all when window.close is called in the javascript which is BAD
because it destroys the mozilla control but NOT the window containing it,
shortly after which the whole thing crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a container to load the moz activex ctrl.
2. Connect a DWebBrowserEvents2 event sink.
3. Load a page that executes 'window.close' in the javascript... 

Actual Results:  
No DISPID_WINDOWCLOSING event seen in the event sink.

Expected Results:  
Sent a DISPID_WINDOWCLOSING event to the DWebBrowserEvents2 sink.

The actual value of DISPID_WINDOWCLOSING is 263 and it should call:
void WindowClosing(VARIANT_BOOL IsChildWindow, VARIANT_BOOL *Cancel);

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