Environment:
Windows NT, 9x, XP Visual
C++ 6, VC++.NET
I built this
application with VC++ 5.
I don't think there should be a problem comiling it with VC++
6.
This MFC
GUI framework is placed inside ATL
DLL server and is invoked by parent
application. Parent application manages this window and
when parent application terminates so does this embedded
window. It behaves much like Microsoft's Outlook Email and
Forms, which appear to be a standalone frame/view/doc and
which is managed by parent Outlook application.
Whats in it
for you? Lots! First - You have only one invoking method
inside parent program. After the method was implemented,
this DLL can be
completely developed standalone (no need to recompile
parent app). You can create hundreds of these dlls
with frame windows inside and enjoy nice scalability of
you parent app. Web applications with doc/view features.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
1. I created
a MFC single document
application with app wizard.
2. Edit
InitInstance() function add these lines:
//*********************************
if
(!AfxOleInit())
{
AfxMessageBox("Failed
to load OLE");
return
FALSE;
}
CoInitialize(0);
//*********************************
3. Add
ExitInstance() virtual function and insert there this
line:
//****************
CoUninitialize();
//*****************
4. Refer to
the code in the ATL
project how to implement framework.
