The CONTAINER sample is a simple example of a Visual Editing container application.

CONTAINER illustrates the following:

• The application-specific classes CContainerItem and CContainerView and the MFC classes COleClientItem and COleDocument.

• Selection and hit detection of embedded objects.

• Activation of embedded objects.

• Tracker rectangles using the CRectTracker class.

For examples of more advanced Visual Editing container features, see the DRAWCLI and OCLIENT sample applications.
