IsInLimbo

IsInLimbo
The IsInLimbo method returns a Boolean value that indicates whether this frame is removed from a part's content model.
ODBoolean IsInLimbo ();
return value
kODTrue if this frame is removed from a part's content model, or kODFalse if this frame is in a part's content model (such as an embedded frame).

DISCUSSION
Your part calls this method to check whether this frame is in limbo.
The in-limbo flag is not a persistent property of frames; frames that are in limbo are eventually removed. When a frame object is created by a draft, the frame is not in limbo. If this frame is removed from a part's content model, such as by the Cut operation, this frame is in limbo, and eventually this frame is removed from the draft by the part that last contained the frame in its content model. If this frame is inserted into a part's content model, such as by a Paste or Undo of the cut operation, this frame is again not in limbo.
