======================================================================== MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : XFILE ======================================================================== AppWizard has generated this XFILE 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 XFILE application. XFILE.MAK This project file is compatible with the Visual C++ Workbench. It is also compatible with the NMAKE program provided with the Professional Edition of Visual C++. To build a debug version of the program from the MS-DOS prompt, type nmake DEBUG=1 /f XFILE.MAK or to build a release version of the program, type nmake DEBUG=0 /f XFILE.MAK XFILE.H This is the main include file for the application. It includes other project specific includes (including RESOURCE.H) and declares the CXFileApp application class. XFILE.CPP This is the main application source file that contains the application class CXFileApp. XFILE.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 with App Studio. RES\XFILE.ICO This is an icon file, which is used as the application's icon. This icon is included by the main resource file XFILE.RC. RES\XFILE.RC2 This file contains resources that are not edited by App Studio. Initially this contains a VERSIONINFO resource that you can customize for your application. You should place other non-App Studio editable resources in this file. XFILE.DEF This file contains information about the application that must be provided to run with Microsoft Windows. It defines parameters such as the name and description of the application, and the size of the initial local heap. The numbers in this file are typical for applications developed with the Microsoft Foundation Class Library. The default stack size can be adjusted by editing the project file. XFILE.CLW This file contains information used by ClassWizard to edit existing classes or add new classes. ClassWizard also uses this file to store information needed to generate and edit message maps and dialog data maps and to generate prototype member functions. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// For the main frame window: MAINFRM.H, MAINFRM.CPP These files contain the frame class CMainFrame, which is derived from CFrameWnd and controls all SDI frame features. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// AppWizard creates one document type and one view: XFILEDOC.H, XFILEDOC.CPP - the document These files contain your CXFileDoc class. Edit these files to add your special document data and to implement file saving and loading (via CXFileDoc::Serialize). XFILEVW.H, XFILEVW.CPP - the view of the document These files contain your CXFileView class. CXFileView objects are used to view CXFileDoc objects. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other standard files: STDAFX.H, STDAFX.CPP These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named STDAFX.PCH and a precompiled types (PCT) file named STDAFX.OBJ. RESOURCE.H This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs. App Studio reads and updates this file. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other notes: AppWizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you should add to or customize. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
