Hi,

Since the MFC project is an unmanaged project type, there hasn't add "Add
Reference" option/dialog for it in Visual Studio 2005. Only the .NET
project types have that "Add Reference" option/dialog. You need to use the
traditional ways to add the COM Component to your MFC project just as under
VC6 IDE.

For a COM component, you can use the VS2005's Add class wizard to create a
MFC wrapped class for it: Add Class | MFC | Add Class From ActiveX Control
or Add Class From TypeLib.

By the way, we usually discuss such an issue in the more appropriate
newsgroup vsnet.ide, you would get better and quicker help.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
