Generate CLSID for SLIK-DA application in C++

How can I Auto-generate a CLSID for my SLIK-DA application using C++?

C++ doesn't allow you to auto-generate a CLSID, so this must be hard coded into your application. You can use third party applications to generate this and copy in the CLSID or create your own.

Visual Studio installs a program called guidgen.exe that will auto-generate a new GUID for you that you can use in your C++ application. The default location for Visual Studio 2015 is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools

Once you open guidgen.exe you can click on the New GUID button in the top right hand corner. You will see the new GUID at the very bottom. By clicking the Copy button you are then able to copy this newly generated GUID into your application.
