MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : DecalSupportLibraries Project Overview
===============================================================================
The application wizard has created this DecalSupportLibraries application for
you. This application not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft
Foundation Classes but is also a starting point for writing your application.
This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that
make up your DecalSupportLibraries application.
DecalSupportLibraries.vcproj
This is the main project file for VC++ projects generated using an application wizard.
It contains information about the version of Visual C++ that generated the file, and
information about the platforms, configurations, and project features selected with the
application wizard.
DecalSupportLibraries.h
This is the main header file for the application. It includes other
project specific headers (including Resource.h) and declares the
CDecalSupportLibrariesApp application class.
DecalSupportLibraries.cpp
This is the main application source file that contains the application
class CDecalSupportLibrariesApp.
DecalSupportLibraries.rc
This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the
program uses. It includes the icons, bitmaps, and cursors that are stored
in the RES subdirectory. This file can be directly edited in Microsoft
Visual C++. Your project resources are in 1033.
res\DecalSupportLibraries.ico
This is an icon file, which is used as the application's icon. This
icon is included by the main resource file DecalSupportLibraries.rc.
res\DecalSupportLibraries.rc2
This file contains resources that are not edited by Microsoft
Visual C++. You should place all resources not editable by
the resource editor in this file.
DecalSupportLibraries.reg
This is an example .reg file that shows you the kind of registration
settings the framework will set for you. You can use this as a .reg
file to go along with your application.
DecalSupportLibraries.idl
This file contains the Interface Description Language source code for the
type library of your application.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The application wizard creates one dialog class and automation proxy class:
DecalSupportLibrariesDlg.h, DecalSupportLibrariesDlg.cpp - the dialog
These files contain your CDecalSupportLibrariesDlg class. This class defines
the behavior of your application's main dialog. The dialog's template is
in DecalSupportLibraries.rc, which can be edited in Microsoft Visual C++.
DlgProxy.h, DlgProxy.cpp - the automation object
These files contain your CDecalSupportLibrariesDlgAutoProxy class. This class
is called the Automation proxy class for your dialog, because it
takes care of exposing the Automation methods and properties that
Automation controllers can use to access your dialog. These methods
and properties are not exposed from the dialog class directly, because
in the case of a modal dialog-based MFC application it is cleaner and
easier to keep the Automation object separate from the user interface.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Other Features:
ActiveX Controls
The application includes support to use ActiveX controls.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Other standard files:
StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file
named DecalSupportLibraries.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj.
Resource.h
This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs.
Microsoft Visual C++ reads and updates this file.
DecalSupportLibraries.manifest
Application manifest files are used by Windows XP to describe an applications
dependency on specific versions of Side-by-Side assemblies. The loader uses this
information to load the appropriate assembly from the assembly cache or private
from the application. The Application manifest maybe included for redistribution
as an external .manifest file that is installed in the same folder as the application
executable or it may be included in the executable in the form of a resource.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Other notes:
The application wizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you
should add to or customize.
If your application uses MFC in a shared DLL, and your application is in a
language other than the operating system's current language, you will need
to copy the corresponding localized resources MFC70XXX.DLL from the Microsoft
Visual C++ CD-ROM under the Win\System directory to your computer's system or
system32 directory, and rename it to be MFCLOC.DLL. ("XXX" stands for the
language abbreviation. For example, MFC70DEU.DLL contains resources
translated to German.) If you don't do this, some of the UI elements of
your application will remain in the language of the operating system.
