IDisplayPointer interface

Provides methods that control display pointers so that you can mark sections of an HTML document for editing based on the on-screen rendering of a document.

Remarks

IDisplayServices and IDisplayPointer work with markup pointer (IMarkupServices2, IMarkupContainer2, and IMarkupPointer2) to give you editing control that includes information about how a document is rendered on the screen, and the horizontal and vertical positioning of elements and lines of text. These interfaces enable you to translate a user's on-screen input (for instance, a mouse click near a line of text) into editing operations.

Use the IDisplayServices::CreateDisplayPointer method to create IDisplayPointer interface pointers.
