Implement Connection Point Wizard
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Implement Connection Point Wizard.
This wizard implements a connection point for a COM object. A connectable object (that is, a source) can expose a connection point for its own interfaces or for any outgoing interface. Visual C++ and Windows both provide type libraries that have outgoing interfaces. Each outgoing interface can be implemented by a client on an object (that is, a sink).
For more information, see ATL Connection Points.
