The ActiveX Controls class will provide an overview of controls, although ActiveX embodies several technologies for inter-process communication and the Internet. All aspects of ActiveX controls, including dealing with properties, events, methods, Internet issues, multiple threads, and distribution and licensing issues will be covered. The primary focus will be developing controls using the MFC class library and Visual C++ tools. However, the underlying COM abstractions will be described in each chapter. An introduction to ATL (ActiveX Template Library) will be provided at the end of the class.
