Remarks

HTMLWindow3 is returned by the Object property of the Window object when the document is an HTML document. Window.Selection and Document.Selection returns a TextSelection object when the CurrentTab property is set to vsHTMLTabsSource.

HTMLWindow3, vsHTMLPanes and vsHTMLViews were added with the introduction of Split view in the Visual Studio 2008 HTML editor. Split view separates the tab and view elements of the HTML Editor window. Switching the view (to either Design or Source) does not necessarily mean switching the tab (Design/Split/Source). For example, when you click the Split tab, switching views between Design and Source does not change the tab, it only activates or deactivates the Design and Source parts in the Split view.

The Visual Studio 2008 HTMLWindow object now also implements the HTMLWindow3 interface that returns the current view (either Design or Source) and the current pane (tab, either Design, Source, or Split).
