Hi Thomas

You need the mmc sdk that is part of the platform sdk, you find anything
to developp a snap-in in c++.
More information can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk/sysmgmt.asp

Enjoy!

Marcel,

I found this lovely sounding help file in there under 'Help' (snapsamp.chm),
but it didn't actually SAY anything. Did you find good help in there, or
did you just look at sample source code and play with it until you got it?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Jennifer,
(Yes, that's me...)
Yes...it's lame they put that empty help in there. Trying to follow the
Benefits example from the get go is a major headache...however, the other
samples in the sample are good for learning the basics. (About and Nodes
will give a good foundation). AND, if you are using VC 6.0...the snap-in
wizard will do most of the work for you!
...now that I've finally figured that out, sorry to keep bugging the group.
Thanks Marcel, for having me look at platform SDK again...that Benefits
example (what I understood was to teach snap-ins) scared me away. Finally
making the thing do a little...

Be aware that the MMC documentation included with VC 6.0 is completely out
of date and in many cases is incorrect. Up to date documentation (for
version 1.2) can be found online at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ under Platform SDK, Management Services,
Microsoft Management Console.

To compile some of the samples you may find you also required updated header
files since the headers included with VC 6.0 were for MMC 1.0. I got updated
header files from the MSDN CD's, but they could also be downloaded from the
web.

I found two articles that are extremely useful for info on the latest ATL
3.0 snapin framework (used in VC6), check out:

http://www.COMDeveloper.com/articles/mmcatl.asp

The authors collection of MMC resources including an independent ATL 3.0
sample that is simpler than Benefits can be found at:
http://www.simonrobinson.com/MMCMap.htm

The other article ("Writing MMC snapins is a snap with ATL 3.0") was
published in the Jan 99 issue of Visual C++ Developer. Get it online at:

Good luck!
