If you create an application using MFC application wizard it will ask to select from 3 types of applications of MFC. 1)- Dialog based application (most likely form based application in VB) 2)- single document application 3)-Multidocument application The later two have different archtecture than dialog based. Just follow the step in the MFC application wizard and select the Dialog based application when it asks for mfc application type. It will create a main dailog or form of the application. you can create any number of dialogs or forms by going into resource view and then right click the dialogs and then click insert. and select a dialog type. It will insert a new dialog in your application. you can associate some class with this dialog to handle different type of events. you can do this association by using the form wizard. Just dobule click the dialog on some empty area it will open the class wizard and ask you to associate some class with this dialog. Seclect a class or new class name. and then it will associate this class with you dailoag. now come to the point from where you want to call or display that dialog. Create and object of the class that is associated with that dialog. Then call the DoModel function of that object it will display your dialog. Any events on this dialog will be handeled by the class that you just created. If you have any other concerns plz feel free to ask but if you provide the refferences what you did and like that it will be great. Best Regards -Yasir    Report

When I press a different menu item a different custom form will start. Now I don't get this, I don't know to do different modeless form to reaction a different menu input.    Report

03-27-2006, 6:14 AM Yasir Joined on 03-15-2006 Posts 44 Re: Different form Hi Yes you cand do this all. First of all you need the study the MDI file architecture. we can create different type of documets by creating differetn type of Dcoment, view and child window objects like this. As MDI architecture uses the CDocManager which has ability to handle multiple documents of multiple types. you can use AddDocTemplate function to add different documents. CMultiDocTemplate* pDocTemplate; pDocTemplate = new CMultiDocTemplate( IDR_MFCMDITYPE, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCMDIDoc), RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame), // custom MDI child frame RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCMDIView)); AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate); Then you can trick on each different event create the object of different document type and view in the differnt child winodow.

04-03-2006, 11:58 AM Yasir Joined on 03-15-2006 Posts 44 Re: Different form you have to create your own class inherited from CDocManager. Acctully when you click on the File New. onFileNew() function is called of CDocManager. you can override that function. and then onFilenew() function calls createNewdocument function. which actually creates new document. Create your own cdocmanageryour class. inherit from CDocManager. override onFilenew and createnewdocument. And in the initinstance function of CwinApp you need to replace the default document manager by yours created one. m_pDocManager = new CDocManagerYours; if you feel any difficulty feel free to contact me.    Report

04-04-2006, 2:24 AM agenore Joined on 03-21-2006 Parma Posts 26 Re: Different form Uh.... I looking for the class CDocManager but I haven't found on MSDN Library. Same thing for the createNewdocument method. I have just found the method onFileNew(). Can I send to you the code of my example?    Report

04-04-2006, 6:07 AM Yasir Joined on 03-15-2006 Posts 44 Re: Different form some classes of MFC are documented by msdn and provide the complete technical details about how they work. But some are completely missing CDocManager class is not listed int the MSDN. but that is class which handles your new file event. you need to override the onNewFile() function. yes you can put the code for your example.    Report

How I can resolv it? 2) .... For create several document How can I do? sorry for all question ... but I don't find a good documentation.    Report

Below is the code for onFileNew() i got from the MFC source. See what it does. void CDocManager::OnFileNew() { if (m_templateList.IsEmpty()) { TRACE0("Error: no document templates registered with CWinApp.\n"); AfxMessageBox(AFX_IDP_FAILED_TO_CREATE_DOC); return; } CDocTemplate* pTemplate = (CDocTemplate*)m_templateList.GetHead(); if (m_templateList.GetCount() > 1) { // more than one document template to choose from // bring up dialog prompting user CNewTypeDlg dlg(&m_templateList); int nID = dlg.DoModal(); if (nID == IDOK) pTemplate = dlg.m_pSelectedTemplate; else return; // none - cancel operation } ASSERT(pTemplate != NULL); ASSERT_KINDOF(CDocTemplate, pTemplate); pTemplate->OpenDocumentFile(NULL); // if returns NULL, the user has already been alerted } Gets the head document template from template list. and then call openDocumentFile for that template. What you can trick is just keep empty the OnFileNew() function but create another function of ur docmanager class say CreateDiffDocs and do some code like this. pass the index of the document in the list to which you want to create the document. CreateDiffDocs(int index) { POSITION p; CDocTemplate *temp; p=m_templatelist.Getheadpostion(); for(int i=0;i<=index;i++) { temp=m_templatelist.getNext(p); } //then call the opendocumentfile as in the onNewFile function. } I think that is enough to help you. if still had problems dont feel shy to message.
