Using Test Applications

Test applications allow you to test various types of ActiveX applications against existing ActiveX applications. Visual C++ and the SDK provide a number of samples to use for testing. These include:

Container and Server

CL32TEST and SR32TEST are applications you can use to test your ActiveX applications. Both CL32TEST and SR32TEST are full-featured ActiveX applications and allow testing particular ActiveX API calls. This can be helpful in reproducing a series of events, one call at a time.

Outline Series

This series of applications shows how to convert a non-ActiveX application to an ActiveX server and container.

Microsoft Foundation Class Samples

The MFC ActiveX samples OCLIENT, SUPERPAD, and HIERSVR, as well as the MFC Tutorials CONTAINER and SCRIBBLE (Step 7), are also available to test your applications against. Full source code for these samples is included. CONTAINER and SCRIBBLE are fully explained in Tutorials.

The CL32TEST and SR32TEST tools are not installed on your hard disk. You can find them in the BIN directory on the Visual C++ compact disc.
