I think there is a new/simpler way to create new views attached to an
existing document using VC++ 5.0. I think it is a cleaner implementation
since it uses new hooks that MFC provides rather than having to work with
the CCreateContext’s.
Assuming the following are already declared in the app:
CMultiDocTemplate * m_pTemplate; CWhateverDocument * m_pDocument;
The app would only need to have the following to create a new view attached
to the document:
void CWhateverApp::OnCreateView() { // creates the frame and associated view, attaches to document CFrameWnd * pFrameWnd = m_pTemplate->CreateNewFrame( m_pDocument, NULL ); // error checking in case creation of frame or view fails RETURN_ON_NULL( pFrameWnd ); // let the frame do any initialization the framework needs, // call the view's OnInitialUpdate() m_pTemplate->InitialUpdateFrame( pFrameWnd, m_pDocument ); }
