IMPORTING ARCGIS TYPE LIBRARIES
To reference ArcGIS interfaces, types, and objects, you will need to import the
definitions into Visual C++ types. The #import command automates the creation
of the necessary files required by the compiler. The #import was developed to
support Direct-To-COM. When importing ArcGIS library types, there are a
number of parameters that must be passed.

duplicated in win32 header files. */
#pragma warning(disable : 4146) /* Ignore warnings for use of minus on
unsigned types. */
#import "\Program Files\ArcGIS\com\esriSystem.olb"
/* Type library to generate C++ wrappers. */ \
raw_interfaces_only, /* Don't add raw_ to method names. */ \
raw_native_types, /* Don't map to DTC smart types. */ \
