Short for Active Template Library, a collection of template-based software routines that can be used to create ActiveX and COM objects in C++. Classes are instantiated from the template to get the desired functionality. ATL provides built-in support for many of the fundamental COM interfaces, and using an ATL reduces the amount of time it takes to write COM components.
