Appendix B. ATL Header Files

Assuming the default installation directory for Visual C++, ATL 8 source code is installed in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include directory. At the time of this writing, this folder includes 297 files, so it’s not practical to list all of them here. However, Table B.1 lists the ATL-specific header files in that folder, for your enjoyment.
