Creating Pipeline Components Using the Active Template Library (ATL)

The ATL Pipeline Component Wizard consists of a group of files that you add to your Microsoft Visual C++ installation to automate the creation of Commerce Server 2000 pipeline components. The ATL Pipeline Component Wizard creates the object definition and implementation files. These files contain the function prototypes for all of the interfaces that you need to implement to create a fully functional pipeline component. In addition, the ATL Pipeline Component Wizard creates a property page for your project, in which you add the controls through which users set component properties.
