CComModule Replacement Classes (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

Earlier versions of ATL used CComModule. In ATL 7.0 and later, CComModule functionality is replaced by several classes.

This separation makes the functionality in CComModule more granular, creating separate classes to provide support for COM, windowing, interface debugging, and application-specific (DLL or EXE) features.

In addition, Init and Term methods have moved into the constructors and destructors for the module classes; there is no longer a need to call Init and Term.

The following table describes the classes that replace CComModule.

Class Description

CAtlBaseModule

Contains information required by most applications that use ATL. Contains the HINSTANCE of the module and the resource instance.

CAtlComModule

Contains information required by the COM classes in ATL.

CAtlWinModule

Contains information required by the windowing classes in ATL.

CAtlDebugInterfacesModule

Contains support for interface debugging.

CAtlModule

The following CAtlModule-derived classes are customized to contain information required in a particular application type. Most members in these classes can be overridden:

CAtlDllModuleTProvides code for the standard exports.
CAtlExeModuleT Provides code required in an EXE.

CComModule is still available for backward compatibility.
