2 MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : multi Project Overview
3===============================================================================
4
5The application wizard has created this multi application for
6you. This application not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft
7Foundation Classes but is also a starting point for writing your application.
8
9This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that
10make up your multi application.
11
12multi.vcproj
13 This is the main project file for VC++ projects generated using an application wizard.
14 It contains information about the version of Visual C++ that generated the file, and
15 information about the platforms, configurations, and project features selected with the
16 application wizard.
17
18multi.h
19 This is the main header file for the application. It includes other
20 project specific headers (including Resource.h) and declares the
21 CMultiApp application class.
22
23multi.cpp
24 This is the main application source file that contains the application
25 class CMultiApp.
26
27multi.rc
28 This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the
29 program uses. It includes the icons, bitmaps, and cursors that are stored
30 in the RES subdirectory. This file can be directly edited in Microsoft
31 Visual C++. Your project resources are in 1033.
32
33res\multi.ico
34 This is an icon file, which is used as the application's icon. This
35 icon is included by the main resource file multi.rc.
36
37res\multi.rc2
38 This file contains resources that are not edited by Microsoft
39 Visual C++. You should place all resources not editable by
40 the resource editor in this file.
41/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
42
43For the main frame window:
44 The project includes a standard MFC interface.
45MainFrm.h, MainFrm.cpp
46 These files contain the frame class CMainFrame, which is derived from
47 CMDIFrameWnd and controls all MDI frame features.
48/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
49
50For the child frame window:
51
52ChildFrm.h, ChildFrm.cpp
53 These files define and implement the CChildFrame class, which
54 supports the child windows in an MDI application.
55
56/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
57
58The application wizard creates one document type and one view:
59
60multiDoc.h, multiDoc.cpp - the document
61 These files contain your CMultiDoc class. Edit these files to
62 add your special document data and to implement file saving and loading
63 (via CMultiDoc::Serialize).
64multiView.h, multiView.cpp - the view of the document
65 These files contain your CMultiView class.
66 CMultiView objects are used to view CMultiDoc objects.
67res\multiDoc.ico
68 This is an icon file, which is used as the icon for MDI child windows
69 for the CMultiDoc class. This icon is included by the main
70 resource file multi.rc.
71/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
72
73Other Features:
74
75ActiveX Controls
76 The application includes support to use ActiveX controls.
77/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
78
79Other standard files:
80
81StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
82 These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file
83 named multi.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj.
84
85Resource.h
86 This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs.
87 Microsoft Visual C++ reads and updates this file.
88
89multi.manifest
90 Application manifest files are used by Windows XP to describe an applications
91 dependency on specific versions of Side-by-Side assemblies. The loader uses this
92 information to load the appropriate assembly from the assembly cache or private
93 from the application. The Application manifest maybe included for redistribution
94 as an external .manifest file that is installed in the same folder as the application
95 executable or it may be included in the executable in the form of a resource.
96/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

98Other notes:
99
100The application wizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you
101should add to or customize.
102
103If your application uses MFC in a shared DLL, and your application is in a
104language other than the operating system's current language, you will need
105to copy the corresponding localized resources MFC70XXX.DLL from the Microsoft
106Visual C++ CD-ROM under the Win\System directory to your computer's system or
107system32 directory, and rename it to be MFCLOC.DLL. ("XXX" stands for the
108language abbreviation. For example, MFC70DEU.DLL contains resources
109translated to German.) If you don't do this, some of the UI elements of
110your application will remain in the language of the operating system.
