ATLFire Sample: Demonstrates Building a Windowed Control

  • Article

The ATLFire sample is an ActiveX control that demonstrates how to build a windowed control using ATL by setting the m_bWindowedOnly flag to TRUE. It also shows what needs to be done to the MFC drawing code to convert it into straight Win32 code. The sample uses the ATL support for Win32 dialog boxes and property sheets and also demonstrates how to use a Win32 tab control in an ActiveX control. The sample also demonstrates several of the ATL macros.

The ATLFire attributes sample is the attributed version of this sample.
