Note: These examples are not automatically installed with the product in full. Instead, a shortcut is provided which allows you to download a ZIP file containing the examples.

These examples are designed to only use C++ language features and libraries that are portable across compilers. Note that this does not mean you can run QuickOPC on anything else than Windows - it just means you can use various compilers.

• VoleReadItemValue: Shows how to read value of a single OPC item, and display it, using STLSoft and VOLE libraries.
• VoleReadMultipleItems: Shows how to read 4 items at once, and display their values, timestamps and qualities, using STLSoft and VOLE libraries.

Note that due to the number of files in the STLSoft and VOLE libraries, and their size, the installation program only places a download link to the corresponding directory. The link allows you to download a ZIP file with the examples from the Web.

If you do not intend to compile your code with compilers other than Microsoft Visual C++, it is recommended that you use the approach that is aligned better with the Microsoft ecosystem: see Visual C++ Examples instead.
