Getting Started in VC
 

 

Working with the COM object

In order to insert the wodVPN COM object into your project, follow these steps:

1. Install the component on your system by starting its setup program.

2. In the Visual C++ Compiler IDE, create a project or open an existing one.

3. Recompile and then open ClassWizard

4. Click on the 'Add Class' button and then on 'From a type library'

5. Locate wodVPN.DLL and select it. Select all offered interfaces. Click on 'Ok'. VC will now generate wrapper classes for all interfaces.

6. wodVPN is now declared as COleDispatchDriver - you can initialize it from the code like this:

// in header file

IwodVPNCom m_VPN1;
 

// in CPP file

OleInitialize(NULL);
m_VPN1.CreateDispatch("WeOnlyDo.wodVPNCom.1");

7. Do not forget to distribute wodVPN.DLL when using the COM object!

 

Working with the ActiveX control

3. Click on 'Project', then on 'Add To Project', then on the 'Components and Controls' menu

4. in the 'Registered ActiveX Controls' directory select 'wodVPN Class', click on the 'Insert' button, close the dialog

5. The compiler will insert the control into the project and create appropriate wrapper classes.

6. Do not forget to distribute wodVPN.OCX when using the ActiveX control!
