Remarks

#### Notes to Callers

The IOleInPlaceSite::OnPosRectChange method is called by the in-place object.

#### Notes to Implementers

When the in-place object calls IOleInPlaceSite::OnPosRectChange, the container must call IOleInPlaceObject::SetObjectRects to specify the new position of the in-place window and the ClipRect. Only then does the object resize its window.

In most cases, the object grows to the right and/or down. There could be cases where the object grows to the left and/or up, as conveyed through lprcPosRect. It is also possible to change the object’s position without changing its size.
