3 *
4 * tstVBoxAPIWin - sample program to illustrate the VirtualBox
5 * COM API for machine management on Windows.
6 It only uses standard C/C++ and COM semantics,
7 * no additional VBox classes/macros/helpers. To
8 * make things even easier to follow, only the
9 * standard Win32 API has been used. Typically,
10 * C++ developers would make use of Microsoft's
11 * ATL to ease development.

27 * PURPOSE OF THIS SAMPLE PROGRAM
28 * ------------------------------
29 *
30 * This sample program is intended to demonstrate the minimal code necessary
31 * to use VirtualBox COM API for learning puroses only. The program uses pure
32 * Win32 API and doesn't have any extra dependencies to let you better
33 * understand what is going on when a client talks to the VirtualBox core
34 * using the COM framework.
35 *
36 * However, if you want to write a real application, it is highly recommended
37 * to use our MS COM XPCOM Glue library and helper C++ classes. This way, you
38 * will get at least the following benefits:
39 *
40 * a) better portability: both the MS COM (used on Windows) and XPCOM (used
41 * everywhere else) VirtualBox client application from the same source code
42 * (including common smart C++ templates for automatic interface pointer
43 * reference counter and string data management);
44 * b) simpler XPCOM initialization and shutdown (only a single method call
45 * that does everything right).
46 *
47 * Currently, there is no separate sample program that uses the VirtualBox MS
48 * COM XPCOM Glue library. Please refer to the sources of stock VirtualBox
49 * applications such as the VirtualBox GUI frontend or the VBoxManage command
50 * line frontend.
