	Run Microsoft Visual Studio. From the main menu select the File -> New, and do the following:
	a.	Make sure Projects tab is selected, if it is already not.
	b.	Select MFC AppWizard(exe).
	c.	In the Project name edit box, specify Automated.
	d.	In the Location edit box, specify the path of the project.
	e.	Click the OK button.
2.	In MFC AppWizard - Step1 select Dialog based as application type then click Next.
3.	In MFC AppWizard - Step 2 of 4, do the following:
	a.	Make sure About box checkbox is selected.
	b.	Make sure 3D controls checkbox is selected.

	c.	Click the Next button.
5.	In MFC AppWizard - Step 4 of 4, click the Finish button.
6.	Add #include statements to your program so you can access the LEAD C++ Class Library constants and classes:
	a.	In the Project Workspace, click the FileView tab.
	b.	Expand the Automated files folder to view it's contents.
	c.	Expand the Header Files folder to view it's contents.
	d.	Double-click the StdAfx.h file to edit it.
	e.	Add the following line to the end of the file (keep in mind, you may have to change the path to where the header files reside):

#include "..\..\..\..\..\Include\ClassLib\ltWrappr.h"

	f.	Add the following define statement after #define VC_EXTRALEAN (keep in mind, you need to change the XX to your current LEADTOOLS version):

#define LTVXX_CONFIG

7.	Add the following setting to the project as follows:
	a.	From the main menu, select Project -> Settings...
	b.	Select the C/C++ tab.
	c.	Add the IGNORE_CLASSLIB_WIA flag to the end of the text in Preprocessor definitions: edit box.

8.	Add a Button control to the main window as follows:
	a.	In the Project Workspace, click the ResourceView tab.
	b.	Expand the Automated resources folder to view it's contents.
	c.	Expand the Dialog folder to view it's contents.
	d.	Double-click IDD_AUTOMATED_DIALOG to design the form.
	e.	Select the TODO... text control; then press the Delete key to delete it.
	f.	From Controls context menu, click the Button control icon; then size and position the control as you want it to appear at run time.

9.	Right-click the newly created button and select Properties. In the General tab specify the following:
	ID	Caption
	IDC_BITMAPWND	Bitmap Window

10.	Change the command button properties as follows:
	a.	From General tab, set Visible property to FALSE.
	b.	From Style tab, set Owner draw property to TRUE.
	c.	From Style tab, set Flat property to TRUE.
	d.	Save the changes.
11.	Press Ctrl-F4 to close all windows back to the Project Workspace.

12.	Add a new class to the project as follows -- this class will be inherited from the LBitmapWindow class:
	a.	From the main menu, select Insert -> New Class...
	b.	In the Class Type combo box, select Generic class
	c.	In the Class name edit box, specify CBitmapWindow
	d.	Click on "Derived From" and type LBitmapWindow
	e.	Click on "As" and specify public

   if (m_pContainer != NULL)
   {
      nRet = m_pContainer->Draw(hdc, &Rect);
   }

}

LRESULT CBitmapWindow::MsgProcCallBack(HWND hWnd,UINT uMsg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch (uMsg)
   {
   case WM_LTANNEVENT:
      if(m_pAutomation != NULL)
      {
            int uChecked = m_pToolBar->GetToolChecked() ;
            m_pAutomation->SetTool(uChecked);
      }
      break;
   };

   return LBitmapWindow::MsgProcCallBack(hWnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam);
}

16.	Create a new file called Imports.cpp and place it in Source Files folder in your project.
	a.	From the main menu, select File -> New.

// m_LBitmap.SetWndHandle(hWnd);*/
m_LBitmap.EnableAutoScroll(FALSE);

CRect rcRect;
// Get the rectangle of the button
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rcRect);
ScreenToClient(&rcRect);

// Create the LBitmapWindow control, make it visible, and make it center the image
HWND hWnd = m_LBitmap.CreateWnd(GetSafeHwnd(), 901, WS_VISIBLE|L_BS_CENTER|WS_HSCROLL, rcRect.TopLeft().x, rcRect.TopLeft().y, rcRect.BottomRight().x, rcRect.BottomRight().y);

int nRet = 0;

   m_LeadAAutomation.Create();

   /* Assign the automation object to the container */
   m_LeadAAutomation.SetAutoContainer(&m_LeadAContainer);

   /* Enable the automation object */
   m_LeadAAutomation.SetActiveState(ANNACTIVE_ENABLED);

   /* Set design mode, which allows creation of annotations */
