| Make a Simple Smart Document [Office 2003 SDK Documentation]

This tutorial shows how to create a very simple smart document, called SimpleSample, using
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. If you haven't done so already, you should create your
supporting files
before you start. After you have all of your supporting files ready,
you can proceed to the following sections to create your first smart
document:

1. 
   Step 1: Set up the SimpleSample document.
   
2. 
   Step 2: Set up the Visual C++ project.
   
3. 
   Step 3: Create the smart document DLL.
   
4. 
   Step 4: Compile the SimpleSample DLL.
   
5. 
   Step 5: Create the SimpleSample XML expansion pack manifest file.
   
6. 
   Step 6: Test the SimpleSample smart document.
   
7. 
   Step 7: Deploy the SimpleSample smart document.
   

Additional smart document controls
using Visual C++

The previous steps show you the basics for creating a
smart document with Visual C++ that uses the text box control. The next Visual
C++ tutorials use the SimpleSample smart document that you created with previous
steps to show how to insert additional controls into your smart document:

• 
  Command buttons
  
• 
  Help content
  
• 
  Radio buttons
  
• 
  Check boxes
  
• 
  List boxes and combo boxes
  
• 
  Images
  
• 
  Document fragments
  
• 
  Labels, separator lines, and hyperlinks
  

Note If
you downloaded and installed the Microsoft Office 2003 Smart Document
Software Development Kit (SDK) to the default location, you will find
the source files and working smart document on your local computer at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003 Developer Resources\Microsoft
Office 2003 Smart Document SDK\Samples\SimpleSampleCP.
