    Active Template Library (ATL) is a C++ template library for creating COM objects. It provides implementation support for key COM concepts like the component housing model, IUnknown interface, class factories, aggregation, dispatch interfaces, connection points/events, and enumerators. ATL simplifies COM object development through helper classes that handle string and variant data types, reference counting, querying interfaces, and multi-threaded apartment synchronization.

    Some useful ATL Helper-Classes

    CComBSTR
    BSTR wrapper
    CComVariant
    Variant wrapper
    CComPtr
    Performs automatic reference counting
    CComQIPtr
    Same as CComPtr, plus automatic QueryInterface support
    CComObjectLockT

    ATL Helpers Code example

    STDMETHODIMP CComObject::SomeMethod(IUnknown* pUnk)


    {
    CComQIPtr<ISomeInterface> spObj(pUnk);
    CComBSTR bstrText;
    spObj->GetText(&bstrText);
    Automatic
    ObjectLock lock(this); QueryInterface
    m_bstrText = bstrText;
    Thread Safe!
    ..
    Automatic Automatic
    .. Reference memory
    } Counting! handling!
