PRB: Error Saving a Form With ATL Control

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Use the ATLBUTTON sample that ships with Visual Studio to reproduce the error. Go to your Visual Studio CD-ROM and copy the sample files from the \DEVSTUDIO\VC\Sample\Atl\ATLBUTTON directory to your hard drive.
2. Build the sample with Visual C++. The control is automatically registered.
3. Now start Visual Basic and create a Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
4. Choose Components from the Project menu and add the ATLBUTTON control to the control ToolBox by selecting ATLBUTTON and clicking OK.
5. Add an instance of the control to Form1.
6. Save the project. You should get an error message.

Steps to Solve the problem

1. Open the file AtlButton.h and change the following section:

         BEGIN_PROPERTY_MAP(CAtlButton)
            PROP_ENTRY("Static Image", 0, CLSID_NULL)
            PROP_ENTRY("Hover Image", 1, CLSID_NULL)
            PROP_ENTRY("Push Image", 2, CLSID_NULL)
         END_PROPERTY_MAP()
   						

   to:

         BEGIN_PROPERTY_MAP(CAtlButton)
            PROP_ENTRY("StaticImage", 0, CLSID_NULL)
            PROP_ENTRY("HoverImage", 1, CLSID_NULL)
            PROP_ENTRY("PushImage", 2, CLSID_NULL)
         END_PROPERTY_MAP()
   						

   That is, delete all spaces in the property names.
2. Rebuild the ATL project and repeat steps 3 - 6 above. This time it works correctly.
