Overview
Develop ActiveX/OLE programs in record breaking time using MFC! Learn, step by step, how to assemble robust components, containers, and controls using MFC. You'll examine the core concepts of COM and OLE with special focus on how to create applications that incorporate object linking (particularly inter-application linking). Here are some of the topics you'll study:- the component object model
- component applications
- container applications
- OLE automation and controls
- links, pseudo objects, and monikers
- OLE containers
- containment and aggregation
- the COM Wizard, ATL, and more
- exception handling
- structured storage
- COM SDK utilities
Although the code is MFC-oriented, you'll gain a clear understanding of the underlying ActiveX/OLE architecture - so you can develop your applications with or without MFC. Complete code is included on the accompanying CD-ROM.
