By default, an application without document/view architecture is derived from CWinApp Class, and it does not include MFC support for opening a document from a disk file.

Clear this check box if you are porting a non-MFC application or if you want to reduce the size of your compiled executable. Specifies whether to include document/view architecture in your application by using the CDocument Class and the CView Class (default). The new document frame appears in the taskbar and is not restricted to the client area of the application window. In this type of application, when a user clicks New (or New Frame) on the File menu, the application creates a window whose parent is implicitly the desktop. If you check this box, CDHtmlDialog is listed in the Base class box in the Generated Classes, MFC Application Wizard page of the wizard.Ī CDHtmlDialog-derived dialog box displays HTML-based dialog boxes, exchanges data with HTML controls and handles HTML events.Ĭreates a multiple top-level architecture for your application, where a view class is based on CView. Derives the dialog class from CDHtmlDialog Class instead of CDialog Class. (To create an HTML dialog, select the box Use HTML dialog.)įor dialog box applications only. In this type of application, the document's frame window can hold multiple child windows.Ĭreates a dialog-based architecture for your application where a dialog class is based on CDialog.

To create a form-based application, for example, use CFormView for the view class. You can change the base class for the view in the Generated Classes page of the wizard. In this type of application, the document's frame window can hold only one document.Ĭreates a multiple document interface (MDI) architecture for your application, where a view class is based on CView. To create a form-based application, for example, use CFormView Class for the view class. You can change the base class for the view in the Generated Classes, MFC Application Wizard page of the wizard. See User Interface Features, MFC Application Wizard for more information.įor more information about the types of documents, see:Ĭreates a single document interface (SDI) architecture for your application, where a view class is based on CView Class. The type of application you select determines the user interface options that are available for your application.

Specifies the type of document support that you want to create in your application. Use this page of the MFC Application Wizard to design and add basic features to a new MFC application.
