Remarks

CreateSurroundFrame is used to create a new map surround element (north arrow, scale bar, etc.) based on the current map frame.  For instance, if I create a new scale bar with CreateSurroundFrame, the scale bar will be related to the map frame and updates to the map within the frame will be reflected in the scale bar.

Use this method when you want to create a new map surround object related to the current map frame.

THE CLSID paramter refers to the Class ID of the object that will be created and housed in the frame.  Common Class IDs used in this paramter are:
