Required Tools

As a standard ActiveX™ object, the sample Other Card DLL included with this SDK can be built using the following required tools:

• Other Card sample files
• ActiveX Template Library (ATL) version 2.1 or later.
• Microsoft® Visual C++® version 5.0
• Microsoft® CABinet Development Kit, (located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/delivery/download/overview/entry.asp)

The Microsoft CABinet Development Kit, which you can download from http://www.microsoft.com/intdev/cab/tools.htm, provides the compression and decompression tools used to distribute your Other Card component in easy-to-install .cab files. With the CABinet Development Kit tools, you can use the sample installation files to distribute your Other Card plug-in from your Web page.

The Other Card sample files in the SDK provide the source files that you need to construct your own Other Card component. With these tools and a few modifications to the provided sample code, you can build an Other Card credit card type. Using the default Credit Card component, you can then create and store instances of your credit card type in the registry.
