Microsoft's COM (Component Object Model) is both the key to Microsoft's Internet strategy and the technology for interaction among Microsoft's applications, such as editing a spreadsheet from within a word processor. This work shows how to use COM to create software objects and build applications quickly. It provides an overview of COM technology using real-world examples spanning the entire range of COM techniques such as: using COM API; using Microsoft Foundation Classes for C COM; using ATL (the Actve Template Library) for COM, RPC (Remote Procedure Calls); and COM+ (the C++ wrapper library for COM methods). The companion CD-ROM includes source code for all of the examples and a SampleWizard utility which enables the user to insert interactively the examples into applications.

Learn by example how to extend MFC to create more sophisticated and powerful applications. The CD-ROM contains a working project for Visual C++ V5.0 and V6.0 for every example in the book, as well as the authors own SampleWizard utility. (Computer Books - Languages/Programming)
