Using the COM CIL in Visual C++ 7.1(1)
Note
All C++ applications using COM CIL 7.1(1) must be built using Visual Studio .NET. Applications
using COM CIL 7.1(1) built with Visual C++ 6.0 are not supported.
using COM CIL 7.1(1) built with Visual C++ 6.0 are not supported.
Building a custom Win32 (Console or Windows) CTI application in Visual C++ 7.1(1) with COM
requires knowledge of creating and using COM components in Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1(1). Client
applications of this type tend to be more complex to build, but more powerful and faster in execution,
than scripting clients (i.e. Visual Basic). All of the CIL components for COM are distributed as COM
Dynamic Link Libraries (COM DLL).

In order to be accessible to COM containers, including Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1(1), COM components
must be registered with Windows. The components that you will require for programming in Microsoft

CTI OS Client library (CTIOSClient.dll). This is the main CIL library for COM. The objects
available in this library are described fully in Chapters 8 through 11.

CTIOS Session Resolver (ctiossessionresolver.dll). This object allows multiple applications or
controls to use a single CTIOS Session object. It is required when building an application that will
include the CTIOS ActiveX controls.

Adding COM Support to your Application
To make use of these objects in your CTI application, your application must support COM. To add COM
support to your application, you must use one of the following:
support to your application, you must use one of the following:
•
Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). The following header file are required for MFC applications
to use COM: afxwin.h, afxext.h, afxdisp.h, and afxdtctl.h. If you build an application using the
Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1(1) application wizard, these files are included for you automatically.

Microsoft’s ActiveX Template Library (ATL). To use ATL, include the standard COM header file:
atlbase.h.
