SUMMARY
This articles lists the steps that are needed to add ATL support to an MFC EXE without automation support.
MORE INFORMATION
Add the following after the declaration to the CWinApp-derived object in global scope:
CExeModule _Module; LONG CCExeModule Module::Unlock() { LONG l = CComModule::Unlock(); if (l == 0) { #if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0400 if (CoSuspendClassObjects() == S_OK) PostThreadMessage(dwThreadID, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); #else PostThreadMessage(dwThreadID, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); #endif } return l; } BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP(ObjectMap) END_OBJECT_MAP() LPCTSTR FindOneOf(LPCTSTR p1, LPCTSTR p2) { while (*p1 != NULL) { LPCTSTR p = p2; while (*p != NULL) { if (*p1 == *p++) return p1+1; } p1++; } return NULL; }
Add the following to the beginning of InitInstance():
// Initialize OLE libraries if (!AfxOleInit()) { AfxMessageBox("OLE initialization failed"); return FALSE; } m_bATLInited = TRUE; HRESULT hRes = 0; if (FAILED(hRes)) { m_bATLInited = FALSE; return FALSE; } _Module.Init(ObjectMap, AfxGetInstanceHandle()); _Module.dwThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId(); TCHAR szTokens[] = _T("-/"); BOOL bRun = TRUE; LPCTSTR lpszToken = FindOneOf(m_lpCmdLine, szTokens); while (lpszToken != NULL) { if (lstrcmpi(lpszToken, _T("UnregServer"))==0) { _Module.UpdateRegistryFromResource(IDR_ATLMFC, FALSE); _Module.UnregisterServer(); bRun = FALSE; break; } if (lstrcmpi(lpszToken, _T("RegServer"))==0) { _Module.UpdateRegistryFromResource(IDR_ATLMFC, TRUE); _Module.RegisterServer(TRUE); bRun = FALSE; break; } lpszToken = FindOneOf(lpszToken, szTokens); } if (!bRun) { m_bATLInited = FALSE; return FALSE; } hRes = _Module.RegisterClassObjects(CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE); if (FAILED(hRes)) { m_bATLInited = FALSE; return FALSE; }
Add the following after ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo) in InitInstance():
if (cmdInfo.m_bRunEmbedded || cmdInfo.m_bRunAutomated) { return TRUE; }
Add the following public member variable to the CWinApp-derived object:
BOOL m_bATLInited;
Override ExitInstance() and add the following code before calling the base class ExitInstance():
if (m_bATLInited) { _Module.RevokeClassObjects(); _Module.Term(); }
Add a <project_name>.idl file to the project and set up a custom rule to invoke the MIDL compiler to generate the <project_name>.tlb, project>_i.h, and <project>_i.c files. For example:
midl /Oicf /h "<project_name>_i.h" /iid "<project_name>_i.c" "<project_name>.idl"
- Include <project_name>_i.h and <project_name>_i.c in the <project_name>.h file.
- Add a typelib entry to the .rc file. This is done by clicking Resource Includes on the View menu and adding 1 TYPELIB "<project_name>.tlb" to the compile-time directive section of the resulting dialog box.
- Create a .rgs file for the application and add it as a resource. This is done by inserting a custom resource of type "REGISTRY" and setting the properties of the resource so that it points to the .rgs file. Make sure that the resource ID is the same as the first parameter of UpdateRegistryFromResource() used above.
Add the following to end of stdafx.h:
#define _ATL_APARTMENT_THREADED #include <atlbase.h> // You may derive a class from CComModule and use it if you want to // override something, but do not change the name of _Module. class CExeModule : public CComModule { public: LONG Unlock(); DWORD dwThreadID; }; extern CExeModule _Module; #include <atlcom.h>
Add the following to end of stdafx.cpp:
#ifdef _ATL_STATIC_REGISTRY #include <statreg.h> #include <statreg.cpp> #endif #include <atlimpl.cpp>
NOTE: In the release build, if you do not want to statically link in the ATL registration, then include _ATL_DLL in the preprocessor symbols in the Project Settings dialog box.
