The Property Inspector API presents a large array of COM interfaces, ATL-based implementation classes, and shortcut macros. A categorized list of interfaces and classes can be found in the Properties Palette Interfaces and Classes section at the end of this chapter.
Declarations for these elements are divided between a number of header files. The following table lists the names of files that contain Property Inspector API declarations, with a summary of their contents.
