ATL ATL

"AtlAxWin80" is the name of a window class that helps

provide ATL's control-hosting functionality. When you

create an instance of this class, the window procedure will

automatically use the control-hosting API to create a host

object associated with the window and load it with the

control that you specify as the title of the window. For

more information, see How Do I Load Controls Specified at

Run Time?.

ATL's control-hosting code doesn't require you to use any

ATL classes; you can simply create an "AtlAxWin80" window

and use the control-hosting API if necessary (for more

information, see What Is the ATL Control-Hosting API?).

However, the following classes make the containment

features easier to use.

Returns the IUnknown interface pointer of the control hosted in a window.

Creates a modeless dialog box from a dialog resource and

returns the window handle.

Provides a method, GetDlgControl, that will return an interface pointer on a control, given the ID of its host window. In addition, the Windows API wrappers exposed by CWindow generally make window management easier.

Creates a licensed ActiveX control, initializes it, and

hosts it in the specified window, similar to

AtlAxCreateControlLic.

Creates a modal dialog box from a dialog resource.
