What's New with ATL and MFC (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

The following list provides general guidelines for migrating an OS project transition to ATL 8.0.

• Remove any unused build variables:
  
  • WINCEATL
    
  • USE_ATL
    
  • ATL_VER
    
  • USE_STATIC_ATL
    
• Replace the WINCEATL30=1 environment variable with WINCEATL80=1 in the Sources file.
  
• Update the code to use the newer alternatives.
  - OR -
  If no other alternatives are available, eliminate deprecated warnings by adding /D_ATL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to CDEFINES in the sources file.
  
• Replace occurrences of the CComModule class with an appropriate substitute, as specified in CComModule Replacement Classes
  
• Replace use of FreeResource. This function is a no-op on Win32, and no longer available in ATL
  
• Avoid any hard-coded paths that refer to ATL.
  
• Always use WINCEATL80 and ATL8LIBS*
  
  • If a sysgen’ed project must link against ATL, add $(ATL8LIBS) to the TARGETLIBS section in the project makefile.
    
  • If a sysgen’ed project must link against ATL debug version, use $(ATL8LIBD).
    
  • If a non sysgen’ed project built directly from the SOURCES must link against ATL, use $(S_ATL8LIBS)
    
  • If a non sysgen’ed project built directly from the SOURCES must link against ATL debug, use $(S_ATL8LIBSD).
    
  • Remove any explicit ATL include path from the INCLUDES variable
    
• Add fully qualified path names as needed to occurrences of the following functions. Note that this list is not exhaustive.
  
  • TrackPopupMenu
    
  • GetVersionEx
    
  • CreatePen
