HTMLEdit Sample: Wraps the Internet Explorer MSHTML Editing Control
The HTMLEdit sample shows how to use the MFC classes that wrap the Internet Explorer WebBrowser ActiveX control. In editing mode, the WebBrowser ActiveX control exposes what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) editing functionality. The MFC library provide classes (CHtmlEditView and CHtmlEditDoc) that host the MSHTML editing control in a window class and provide convenient wrapper classes for the control's properties, methods, and events.
