OLE Containers

OLE containers are applications that manage, in addition to native data, a set of OLE server items. The MFC Library provides a high level of support for creating OLE containers. Using an AppWizard-generated container application skeleton, it is possible to build, with a minimal amount of added code, a decently working container application.

In this chapter, we first review the AppWizard-generated skeleton for a container application. Subsequently, we add the necessary code for this application to handle the selection and editing of multiple-embedded objects.
