I have installed vs2015 community edition.
I can create an ATL Project but I cant add any atl project related files to my project.
When I do add item in my atl project , there is no ATL Category.
What am I missing in my IDE?
I found a solution. Open Add Class and select ATL under category and I could see the ATL Objects.
And That's all!

I have all MFC stuff installed foe my VS-2019 Porfessional.
I miss the Add New Item "MFC Class From Tyspelib" used in former version to create a simple IDispatch wrapper.
I checked everything and I installed the same stuff like in VS-2017. I see this in my VS-2017 version.
What did I miss?
Many Wizards, including that, have been removed from the VS2019.
The release notes say:
Deprecations - Visual Studio 2019
The following C++ ATL/MFC wizards are no longer available: ATL COM+ 1.0 Component Wizard, ATL Active Server Pages Component Wizard, ATL OLE DB Provider Wizard, ATL Property Page Wizard, ATL OLE DB Consumer Wizard, MFC ODBC Consumer, MFC class from ActiveX control, and MFC class from Type Lib. Sample code for these technologies is archived at Microsoft Docs and the VCSamples GitHub repository.
These changes start from VS2017 ver 15.3.
The change began with this edition, but no consistent behavior was completed.
Add ATL Simple Object in Visual Studio 2017
If you can do what you want with VS2017's latest version 15.9.13, you should work there and port to VS2019.
Furthermore, some work is impossible in 15.9.13. In that case, you need to work with older versions in the following way and port to VS2019

Download and install the product version below if you have a MSDN subscription, otherwise uses the Community version.
Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.0) (Note: This should never be updated)
Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3
If this is not possible, you will need to do something manually that Wizard did automatically.
This wizard was removed in VS2017 15.3, but then returned in VS2019 16.8. It also available in VS2022.

But Microsoft documentation is still outdated. As for now, VS 2019 does not have "Add class from typelib" option at project context menu. Instead, you need to "Add"->"New Item..." and find "MFC Class from Typelib"
I want to create a static library which I want to use in other projects in VS2017 Community but I can't find the right way.
I tried to follow the instructions from here which is for VS2015 but when I want to create a new project I can just provide the name, solution name, location of solution and whether I want to create a directory for the solution or not and with git repository or not.
I remember a project wizard where I could deselect precompiled headers and set the output to a static library.
Did something change or am I missing a component?
Updated answer:
Create new project and under Visual C++ -> Windows Desktop there is a project template called Windows Desktop Wizard which will open the project wizard.
From VS 2017 15.3 Release notes (credits to user VTT from another question)
The Windows Console and Desktop Application templates now create the projects without displaying a wizard. There's a new Windows Desktop Wizard under the same category that displays the same options as before.
This 2004 tutorial tells me to choose Visual C++ Project / ATL Project in the Visual Studio new project wizard.
PROBLEM: The ATL project type does not seem to exist in my Visual Studio Community 2015.
QUESTION: How to make this option appear? If impossible, what is the nearest option? Tho goal is to write a shell extension in C++.
ATL project support was not installed. To fix this:
Click on the Install Visual C++ 2015 Tools seen in the screenshot above.
Let the download and installation happen
Open the New Project dialog again: The New ATL Project option should appear.
It is doable with the Community version.
I have an existing C++ project in Visual Studio 2013. I need to add a Qt form to it. Is there an automated/simple way to do it? Otherwise, which steps do I have to follow?
If you are using 2013, i'd suggest you to use the Qt VsAddin. It will automatically configure your project for Qt and contains wizard from specific Qt classes creations.
i know that ATL and MFC are now part of Windows Driver Kit
my question is how can i (if it possible .. ) to build project or import ATL project
to visual studio express
Check if your ATL project is within the scope defined in the DDK release note.
