Create hidden SDI application

[davidpmp]

Hi,

I need to create a single document instance(SDI) application to initialize hidden. but when I remove show window and update window lines, the application initialize main window visible. How can I do it ?!?

CSingleDocTemplate* pDocument = new CSingleDocTemplate(IDR_MAINFRAME, RUNTIME_CLASS(MyDocument), RUNTIME_CLASS(MyMainFrame), RUNTIME_CLASS(MyView));

MyView = CFormView
MyMainFrame = CMainFrame
MyDocument = CDocument


Thanks in advance,

Note: this is with VS2005 and MFC9; YMMV.

In your main app class, in InitInstance() modify as so:

Near the beginning (you really only need to do this once as it will remain in the registry thereafter):

  SetRegistryKey(_T("Local AppWizard-Generated Applications"));
  LoadStdProfileSettings(4);  // Load standard INI file options (including MRU)


  CRect r;
  int flg,shc;
  LoadWindowPlacement(r,flg,shc);
  StoreWindowPlacement(r,flg,SW_HIDE);


  InitContextMenuManager();

And near the end of InitInstance:

	if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
		return FALSE;

	// The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update it
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
	// call DragAcceptFiles only if there's a suffix
	//  In an SDI app, this should occur after ProcessShellCommand

The in your frame class, use the class wizard or properties tab to override ActivateFrame() and change as so:

void CMainFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow)
{
  // TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class

  CFrameWndEx::ActivateFrame(SW_HIDE);
}
