Is it possible to make an activex by WTL
-
Hi, I'am new to WTL, I want to make an ActiveX control for applications.. Since I am use VC2008 express in personal and I set up the environment for using WTL/ATL, which is now working, there is no ATL app wizard for making ActiveX controls. What should I do now? And I do love WTL, it's beautiful, is it possible to make ActiveX controls by WTL? How? Thanks a lot!

In my experience ATL is the one you really need for COM or ActiveX. I've not used (or got) V2008 Express so can't really comment on what you can do with it. In theory you may be able to do without the AtiveX Wizard but it could require a lot of painstaking work on your part, though in saying that I'm assuming your Express version supplies all the header files and so on you would need if you took that approach.

Thanks a lot. Yes, I've got all the headers and libs that needed to build ATL/WTL projects, what I want to know is how to set up a project quickly... If there is no convenient way to auto generate an ActiveX project, I'm afraid I have to do this painstaking work...

As has been said earlier, ActiveX is really an ATL thing. Read about it here - WTL for MFC Programmers, Part VI - Hosting ActiveX Controls[^]
«_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

Yes, but this article is talking about to host ActiveX controls rather than make ActiveX controls by WTL. ;P

As the article intro says: "Since ActiveX controls are ATL's specialty, there are no additional WTL classes involved" This really applies wether you're hosting ActiveX or building ActiveX.
