The #import compiler directive makes COM objects easier to use from C++. This sample program functions identically to the VB_Draw and C_Draw samples included with the MSMQ product and will inter-operate with those two samples.

This self-extracting executable file contains a sample project. To use the sample, unzip the contents of this file into a new directory. From the File menu, select Open Workspace from the Visual C++ IDE. Select Imp_Draw.dsw as the Workspace to load.

A new class has been defined to handle ActiveX Event notification, CMSMQEventHandler. This class can be used in other projects by deriving a new class from CMSMQEventHandler and overriding the Arrived and ArrivedError methods.

Aside from this new class the majority of code in this project was taken, or adapted, from the existing C_Draw and VB_Draw samples.
