Description: 
 
The glass sample demonstrates some of the new multi-media  
infrustructure enhancements made to the Internet Explorer that 
Active X control creators can use. These features include CSS filters, 
visual filters, timer services, and how to obtain a DirectDraw surfaces 
from IE4. It demonstrates this by creating a looking glass which can alter  
the contents of what ever is beneath it. In this case, it brightens or  
dims depending on the properties set. 
The html page, GlassCtl.htm, gives a brief demonstration 
of some of its capabilities with just the press of a few buttons. 
In this page. The GlassCSS.htm file shows the Glass control attached to 
another element as a CSS Filter, which changes the visual representation 
for that element.  
 
 
Building note: 
 
The glass control assumes that the project will be built with VC++ version 5, 
with ATL.
