OLE Control Container Support in Visual C++ and MFC (135085)

REFERENCES

Here are sources of information regarding creating an OLE control container:

• "Notes on Implementing an OLE Control Container"

  This article by Kraig Brockschmidt can be found on the Microsoft Developer Network CD (MSDN). It discusses the OLE control container architecture and provides sample code that illustrates how to implement an OLE control container.

• "Implementing OLE Control Containers with MFC and the OLE Control Developer's Kit"

  This article by Mike Blaszczak can be found on the MSDN CD and in the April 1995 issue of the "Microsoft Systems Journal." It discusses different types of OLE control container support and provides sample code for an OLE control container.

• "CONTROLS: Demonstrates How to Test OLE Controls"

  This article can be found on the MSDN CD and in the February 1995 issue of the Microsoft Systems Journal. It includes a sample application that implements a version of the MFC DRAWCLI sample that has been modified to provide OLE control containment.

These articles and samples provide very useful information regarding creating OLE control containers. However, because the current versions of Visual C++ and MFC do not provide any support for creating OLE control containers, these samples are provided as is, with no additional support.

Microsoft Developer Support does not currently provide any support for the creation or implementation of OLE control containers. Because the next major version of Visual C++ will provide a fully supported OLE control container implementation, Microsoft recommends that developers wait for this release unless they have an immediate need for OLE control containment.
