CONNECT

This sample illustrates the use and implementation of connection
points (the ICOnnectionPointContainer and IConnectionPoint interfaces)
in a multithreaded environment.

The server is implemented in the CONNECT.DLL. This DLL allows the
creation of a CoRandom COM object, implemented by the CRandom C++
class. The COM object supports IRandom (a dual interface) and
IConnectionPointContainer, and it accepts connections for the
IRandomEvent interface.

The IRandom interface supports the following methods:
	Start(): starts a thread inside the object
	Stop(): stops a thread inside the object
	StopAll(): stops all the running threads

When running, the secondary threads inside the object keep firing
events through the connection point.

Two clients are provided: DRIVE and MDRIVE. They can be found in
the DRIVE and MDRIVE subdirectories.

DRIVE.EXE is a simple console application that provides a single
object implementing the IRandomEvent interface. It creates a
CoRandom object, calls Advise()/Unadvise() on the connection
point, and has the CoRandom object fire events into the drive's object.

MDRIVE.EXE is an MFC dialog based application, able to create
multiple advise sinks and to control the number of threads the
server creates.

HOW TO RUN IT:

Build CONNECT.DLL and register it. You can build and run DRIVE.EXE
from a console, or build and run MDRIVE.EXE directly from
Developer Studio.
