# CIRCCOLL Sample: Demonstrates a Collection/Enumeration

The CIRCOLL sample shows how to implement a collection/enumeration of objects using ATL.

The CIRCCOLL attributes sample is the attributed version of this sample.

# Building and Running the Sample

#### To build and run this sample

1. Open the solution file circoll.sln.

2. From the Build menu, click Build Solution.

3. From the Debug menu, click Start.

4. The Visual Basic form, Form1, will open. Click the button to activate the application.

# How the Sample Works

Three object classes are implemented: the collection creator, the collection, and the object inside the collection. Only the collection creator has a coclass associated with it (see Circcoll.idl for the coclass declaration). The collection creator has a method to return a collection of circle objects. The collection object implements the Item, Count, and _NewItem methods, so that the object can be manipulated from Visual Basic using both the For...Next and For Each... syntax.
