| How to Create a Binary Element Behavior using ATL | This document describes how to create a binary element behavior. A binary element behavior is an element behavior that is implemented in C++ and compiled. Because it is compiled, a binary element behavior has increased performance over a script-based element behavior. If the performance of a script-based element behavior is inadequate, you can re-implement it as a binary element behavior. A binary element behavior can also be used in situations where a script-based element behavior cannot; binary element behaviors, unlike script-based element behaviors, have access to the entire operating system so they can do anything an ordinary application can—such as access the file system. |
| Implementing Binary DHTML Behaviors | This article focuses on the binary version of behaviors and outlines the steps for creating binary behaviors using Microsoft Visual C++ version 5, Active Template Library (ATL) version 5, and ATL Service Pack 3 (SP3). |
| Using Rendering Behaviors | This tutorial explains how to implement a rendering behavior in C++ and how to use it in an HTML document or an application hosting MSHTML. In the course of explaining rendering behaviors, the tutorial provides some review of binary behavior implementation. |
