Sequence of Operations for Creating OLE Applications
| Overview | How Do I | | Tutorial
The following table shows your role and the framework's role in creating OLE linking and embedding applications. These represent options available rather than a sequence of steps to perform.
Creating OLE Applications
| Task | You do | The framework does |
| Create a COM component. | Run AppWizard. Choose Full-server or Mini-server in compound document support.
(From an existing application, emulate Step 7 in the Scribble tutorial.) |
The framework generates a skeleton application with COM component capability enabled. All of the COM capability can be transferred to your existing application with only slight modification. |
| Create a container application from scratch. | Run AppWizard. Choose Container in compound document support. In ClassWizard, jump to the source code editor. Fill in code for your COM handler functions. | The framework generates a skeleton application that can insert COM objects created by COM component (server) applications. |
| Create an application that supports Automation from scratch. | Run AppWizard. Choose Automation support in step 3. Use ClassWizard to expose methods and properties in your application for automation. | The framework generates a skeleton application that can be activated and automated by other applications. |
