changing a project from Win32 DLL to an ATL DLL (i.e. containinga simple ATL object)

I have a Win32 DLL project that needs to be refactored to support ATL.
Specifically, I need to expose one COM object, that makes use of the
library functionality.

I tried adding a 'Simple ATL object' class directly to the project - but
that (unsuprisingly) , failed. I then changed the project settings and
specified 'Use of ATL' from 'Not Using ATL' to 'Dynamic link to ATL',
However, when I tried to add a 'Simple ATL object' class again, I got
the same error:

'ATL objects can only be added to MFC EXE and MFC Regular DLL projects
or projects with full ATL support'

Can anyone tell me how I may modify my project settings so I may add the
'Simple ATL object' class?

Create a new ATL project and move your existing code to it.

Hi, I've created a custom component. I want one of the properties of my custom component to be the output file name which is found in project properties. I know that I can get this by writing a macro, but I would prefer doing this in my component's constructor. Currently I am trying to use ActiveSolutionProjects in the EnvDTE object to obtain the active project but it always returns an empty object.

I saved a project accepting the defaults name “ConsoleApplication2”. After adding the code, I changed the name using “Rename” in the file directory.

What is the recommended way to change the names of the various file types? Thanks for your help, ...

In Visual Studio, I can change the name of the solution, project and other source file names. But the problem is, actual sub folder name for the project is determined at the creation of the project. As for now, I manually open sln file with Notepad, and edit the directory name, and rename the directory. Is this the only way?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
