Step 2: Setting Up the Visual C++ Project (Visual C++ Tutorial) [Office 2003 SDK Documentation]

Previous  Step 1: Setting up the SimpleSample document

Use the following steps to set up your SimpleSample smart document project in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.

1. Start Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
2. Create a new Visual C++ project.

   How?

   • On the File menu, click New, and then select the Projects tab.
   • Select ATL COM App Wizard.
   • In the Project Name box, type SimpleSampleCP, and then specify your project path.
   • Click OK.
   • Click Support MFC.
   • Click Finish, and then click OK to create the project.
3. Create your project files.

   How?

   • On the Insert menu, click New ATL Object. By default, the Simple Object is selected.
   • Click Next.
   • In the Short Name box, type Actions.
   • Click OK.
4. Implement the ISmartDocument interface.

   How?

   • On the Workspace window in the Class View tab, right-click the CActions class, and then click Implement Interface. You will receive a message.
   • Click OK.
   • In the Browse Type Libraries dialog box, scroll through the Available Type Libraries list, and then select Microsoft Smart Tags 2.0 Type Library.
   • Click OK.
   • In the Implement Interface dialog box, select ISmartDocument from the list of interfaces.
   • Click OK.
5. Modify the code as necessary in the Actions.h file.

   How?

   • Switch to the File View tab in the Workspace window.

   • Under Header Files, right-click Actions.h, and then click Open.

   • Although all the function stubs are created for you, you need to modify them as follows:

     In each one of the function stubs, remove the brackets ({}) and everything in between, and add a semicolon (;) to the end of each line.

     For example:

     STDMETHOD(SmartDocInitialize)(BSTR ApplicationName, IDispatch * Document, BSTR SolutionPath, BSTR SolutionRegKeyRoot)
         {
     
             return E_NOTIMPL;
     
         }
     

     Should be replaced with:

     STDMETHOD(SmartDocInitialize)(BSTR ApplicationName, IDispatch * Document, BSTR SolutionPath, BSTR SolutionRegKeyRoot);
