Below is a sample that uses the PDFCreator control in an MFC dialog application. Visually, the control was added to the dialog in the same way specified in the MFC Console Application example.
// MFCDialogAppDlg.cpp : implementation file
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "MFCDialogApp.h"
#include "MFCDialogAppDlg.h"
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif
// 1- Register the ActiveX COM control or class using ' regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Amyuni PDF Suite\PDFCreactiveX.dll"'
// 2- Add a #import directive to .cpp or .h file where you want to use the control or to
// the stdafx.h file where it will be accessible to all files in the project that use the precompiled header
#import "C:\Program Files\Amyuni PDF Suite\PDFCreactiveX.dll" no_namespace /*raw_interfaces_only*/

}

If you add the control to your project using the "Add Variable" feature of the Visual Studio form designer, you will lose the ability of using the PDF control properties in a direct way, and will have to use the getter and setter methods all the time. |
