MFC Support in ATL Projects

  • Article

If you select Support MFC in the ATL Project Wizard, your project declares the application as an MFC application object (class). The project initializes the MFC library and instantiates a class (class ProjName) that is derived from CWinApp.

This option is available for nonattributed ATL DLL projects only.

class CProjNameApp : public CWinApp
{
public:

// Overrides
   virtual BOOL InitInstance();
   virtual int ExitInstance();
   DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CProjNameApp, CWinApp)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

CProjNameApp theApp;

BOOL CProjNameApp::InitInstance()
{
   return CWinApp::InitInstance();
}

int CProjNameApp::ExitInstance()
{
   return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
}

You can view the application object class and its InitInstance and ExitInstance functions in Class View.
