Initialization part in SDI MFC project.

[tingu]

Hi, I am changing my dialog based MFC application to SDI application. I have the initialization code in TestDlg::OnInitDialog(), in the part //TODO: Add extra initialization here What is the equivalent function in SDI? Where can I add this extra initialization? I see CAppView::OnInitalUpdate() function, but there isn't //TODO: Add extra initialization here comment. Thanks, Harsha

One such place is the document's OnOpenDocument() method, or the view's OnInitialUpdate() method. It really just depends on what it is that you are initializing.

I think you can do this in CChildView::OnCreate handler for WM_CREATE notification.

Hi, Thank you. I am adding the initialization code related to the controls I have added on IDD_APP_FORM (Dialog). So I guess I should add initialization code to view's OnInitialUpdate() method. In which case document's OnOpenDocument() method is used? Thanks, Harsha

When you want to reinitialize the existing CDocument object, rather than create a new one.
