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.
Task | You do | The framework does |
---|---|---|
Create a COM component. | Run the MFC Application Wizard. Choose Full-server or Mini-server in the Compound Document Support tab. | 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 the MFC Application Wizard. Choose Container in the Compound Document Support tab. Using Class View, go 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 the MFC Application Wizard. Choose Automation from the Advanced Features tab. Use Class View 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. |
