Utility Classes

Note

The Active Template Library (ATL) continues to be supported. However, we're no longer adding features or updating the documentation.

The following MFC-independent utility classes are provided:

• CImage Provides enhanced bitmap support, including the ability to load and save images in JPEG, GIF, BMP, and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) formats.

• CPoint Provides an implementation for storing coordinate (x, y) pairs.

• CRect Provides an implementation for storing coordinates of rectangular areas.

• CSize Provides an implementation for storing distance, relative positions, or paired values.

• CString Provides an implementation for storing character strings.

• CAdapt A simple template used to wrap classes that redefine the address-of operator.

• _U_RECT An argument adapter class that allows either RECT pointers or references to be passed to a function that is implemented in terms of pointers.
