Interface description (IDL)
The IDL of the newly created ATL object contains a declaration for one COM interface.
•This interface declaration must be replaced by the declaration of IXMLSpyPlugIn as shown below.
•The IDL must also contain the definition of the SPYUpdateAction enumeration.
•Replace the generated default interface name, (created by the wizard) with "IXMLSpyPlugIn" in the coclass declaration. The IDL should then look something like the example code below:
Having created the ATL object, you then need to implement the IDE plug-in interface of XMLSpy.
import "oaidl.idl";
import "ocidl.idl";
// ----- please insert the following block into your IDL file -----
typedef enum {
spyEnable = 1,
spyDisable = 2,
spyCheck = 4,
spyUncheck = 8
} SPYUpdateAction;
// ----- end insert block ----
// ----- E.g. Interface entry automatically generated by the ATL wizard -----
// [
// object,
// uuid(AB7CD86A-8145-429A-A1F3-270692EO8AFC),
// helpstring("IXMLSpyPlugIn Interface")
// pointer_default(unique)
// ]
// interface IXMLSpyPlugIn : IUnknown
// {
// };
// ----- end automatically generated Interface Entry
// ----- replace the Interface Entry (shown above) generated for you by the ATL wizard, with the following block -----
