Hi Erik, I saw your wizard while perusing codeproject.com . It looks applicable but I haven't had an opportunity to try it out yet. Thanks.

I don't think this is correct. DECLARE_WND_CLASS gives the name of the new class. I want something more like DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS(), which seems to provide a mechanism for having both my class and the base class get messages. But I haven't found a real (meaning complete) example of using this. My ATL Wizard generated code has nothing like "class CMyControl : public CWindowImpl " in it.

Hi, First let me thank codeproject.com for these excellent forums. I have an MFC-based control which uses PreCreateWindow to specify the class for the new controls window. Job is accomplished in 2 lines of code. I'm hoping that it is that easy in ATL. I've been learning as I go and perhaps (hopefully) it is easy. Any pointers or code samples would be appreciated.
