Overview: Working with COM Interfaces

Home Page (Working with Classes) | How Do I ... Topics

ClassView displays icons for any interface or dispinterface defined in an .idl or .odl file in your C++ project. You can use ClassView to easily view and edit interfaces implemented by classes within a given project. Expanding an interface displays any methods or properties it contains.

For ATL–based COM object classes, ClassView reads the COM map in the ATL class to display the relationship between the ATL class and any interfaces it implements.

Note   To display interfaces for MFC-based automation classes, ClassView depends on the comments generated by ClassWizard in both the class and the dispinterface.
