2 MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : dual Project Overview
3===============================================================================
4
5The application wizard has created this dual 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 dual application.
11
12dual.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
18dual.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 CDualApp application class.
22
23dual.cpp
24 This is the main application source file that contains the application
25 class CDualApp.
26
27dual.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\dual.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 dual.rc.
36
37res\dual.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 CFrameWnd and controls all SDI frame features.
48/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
49
50The application wizard creates one document type and one view:
51
52dualDoc.h, dualDoc.cpp - the document
53 These files contain your CDualDoc class. Edit these files to
54 add your special document data and to implement file saving and loading
55 (via CDualDoc::Serialize).
56dualView.h, dualView.cpp - the view of the document
57 These files contain your CDualView class.
58 CDualView objects are used to view CDualDoc objects.
59/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
60
61Other Features:
62
63ActiveX Controls
64 The application includes support to use ActiveX controls.
65/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
66
67Other standard files:
68
69StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
70 These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file
71 named dual.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj.
72
73Resource.h
74 This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs.
75 Microsoft Visual C++ reads and updates this file.
76
77dual.manifest
78 Application manifest files are used by Windows XP to describe an applications
79 dependency on specific versions of Side-by-Side assemblies. The loader uses this
80 information to load the appropriate assembly from the assembly cache or private
81 from the application. The Application manifest maybe included for redistribution
82 as an external .manifest file that is installed in the same folder as the application
83 executable or it may be included in the executable in the form of a resource.
84/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
85
86Other notes:
87
88The application wizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you
89should add to or customize.
90
91If your application uses MFC in a shared DLL, and your application is in a
92language other than the operating system's current language, you will need
93to copy the corresponding localized resources MFC70XXX.DLL from the Microsoft
94Visual C++ CD-ROM under the Win\System directory to your computer's system or
95system32 directory, and rename it to be MFCLOC.DLL. ("XXX" stands for the
96language abbreviation. For example, MFC70DEU.DLL contains resources
97translated to German.) If you don't do this, some of the UI elements of
98your application will remain in the language of the operating system.
