IShellBrowser::BrowseObject isn't called

Question

I'm trying to implement explorer-like frame in my application. This must work under WinXP too.

I've implemented IShellBrowser in my window-class + i've implemented IUnknown interface.

My class atributs:

IShellViewPtr m_shView;
HWND m_wndHolder;
CListViewCtrl  view;

Here is the code of WM_CREATE handler

m_hWndClient = view.Create(m_hWnd, rcDefault, NULL, 
            WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS |
            WS_CLIPCHILDREN, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE); // view isn't null after it

CMessageLoop* pLoop = _Module.GetMessageLoop();
        pLoop->AddMessageFilter(this);
        pLoop->AddIdleHandler(this);

IShellFolderPtr pParentFolder;
ATLVERIFY(SHGetDesktopFolder(&pParentFolder) == S_OK); // OK

FOLDERSETTINGS fs;
fs.fFlags = FVM_DETAILS;
fs.ViewMode = FVM_LIST;

ATLVERIFY(pParentFolder->CreateViewObject(view, IID_IShellView, (void**)&m_shView) == S_OK); // OK

RECT r; 
GetClientRect(&r);

ATLVERIFY(m_shView->CreateViewWindow(NULL, &fs, static_cast<IShellBrowser*>(this), &r, &m_wndHolder) == S_OK); // OK
ATLVERIFY(m_shView->UIActivate(SVUIA_ACTIVATE_NOFOCUS) == S_OK); // OK

After the application is started i have explorer-like frame in it. I want to handle double click event in order to navigate through the folders in the frame. I expect that after double-clicking my implementation of BrowseObject will be called, but it doesn't happened. Instead of this folders are opened in system explorer.

Please help. Thank you.

I've solved the problem.

First you have to IServiceProvider interface if your class. Implementation should look like this:

QueryService( REFGUID guidService, REFIID riid, void __RPC_FAR *__RPC_FAR *ppvObject ) 
  {
    if (IID_IShellBrowser == riid)
    {
      *ppvObject = static_cast<IShellBrowser*>(this);
      AddRef();
      return S_OK;
    }

    *ppvObject = NULL;
    return E_NOINTERFACE;
  }

Also you have to add IServiceProvider support in your QueryInterface method.

STDMETHOD (QueryInterface)( REFIID riid,  __RPC__deref_out void __RPC_FAR *__RPC_FAR *ppvObject)
{
    if (!ppvObject)
        return E_POINTER;

    *ppvObject = NULL;

    if ( riid == IID_IShellBrowser )
        *ppvObject = static_cast<IShellBrowser*>(this);
    else if ( riid == IID_IUnknown )
        *ppvObject = static_cast<IUnknown*>(static_cast<IShellBrowser*>(this));

   else if ( riid == IID_IServiceProvider )
        *ppvObject = static_cast<IServiceProvider*>(this);

    if (*ppvObject)
    {
        AddRef();
        return S_OK;
    }
    return E_NOTIMPL;
}

After you'll inherit IServiceProvider, you can't cast you class to IUnknown using just static_cast<IUnknown*>(this), so you need to write something like i did.

After that BrowseObject should be called fine.
