If you don't know C++, MFC, or ATL, you may skip this section as it probably won't make much sense to you.</p> <p>Until recently, using ActiveXcontrols in Visual C++meant you had to use the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes) framework, because this was the only reasonable way to get the ActiveX hosting capabilities and Wizardsupport most programmers want. With the release of Microsoft Visual Studio6, however, this situation has changed. You can now use ATL (Active Template Library) and native compiler support for COM to create projects that do not depend on MFC. In fact, even if your project is based on MFC you should consider taking advantage of the native COM support to improve the performance of your applications.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="usingvsprinterinmfcprojects.html">Using VSPrinter in MFC projects</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="handlingactivexoptionalparametersinmfc.html">Handling ActiveX Optional Parameters in MFC</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="handlingactivexpicturepropertiesinmfc.html">Handling ActiveX Picture Properties in MFC</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="dualinterfacesinmfc.html">Dual Interfaces in MFC</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="usingvsprinterinatlprojects.html">Using VSPrinter in ATL projects</a></div> <div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="creatingcontrolsdynamicallyinatl.html">Creating Controls Dynamically in ATL</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
