You need to derive a class from the type library (View -&gt; ClassWizard and Add new class from the type lib). Select the classes that you need for your app.<br />
Then you could create object using CreateDispatch and delete using ReleaseDispatch<br />
For instance, if you are creating for Excel Automation.<br />
m_Excel.CreateDispatch(Exc<wbr />el.Applica<wbr />tion);<br />
where mExcel is of type Application in this case.

The problem: Using an ActiveX dll<br />
<br />
In VB, in the references dialog y can select any registered dll such as 'Olemsg.dll'.<br />
Then in any piece of code i can instantiate objects exposed in the library using a simple and cheap Dim statement e.g.:<br />
Dim obj As MAPI.Recipient<br />
'or<br />
Set obj = CreateObject(&quot;MAPI.Recipie<wbr />nt&quot;)<br />
<br />
<br />
How do I do the same in C++? I'm using VC++ 6.0<br />
<br />
Thanks

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
