open a Document with invisible View?

[Jake Palmer]

Is it possible to associate a file type with a document, but to have no visible view, or even no view at all? I want the file type to be handled by my app, but not to open up a child window. I only want to process it in OnOpenDocument. thanks, Jake

i have an app which uses a split screen.. and when a user has no document selected both of those views are set to a CBlankView which is derived from a CFormView, and the resource i use is just a blank dialog with no frame, menu, etc. -dz

My goal is similar to how Visual Studio opens Project and Workspace files: those file types are associated with VS, but they don't open up Views in the middle of the screen, they just fill in some information. I want to imitate this for opening Projects in my application.:~ thanks, Jake
