ID_File_New

Tara14

Hi, I have created a SDI with FormView. The data from the view can be stored into a file and when the file is clicked, it opens directly into the formview with the edit boxes automatically filled. Now, when one file/document is open, if the user selects File-New from the menu, a new document opens and all the fields on the Form get reset (set to zero). The previously open document gets closed. I would like to ask the user if he would like to save the data before opening a new document. I have put this option when the Exit button is clicked, but am not able to figure out how to **open a new document** after the saving process is over. Please help!

Override CDocument::OnCloseDocument().

AH!! This works ... Is it the correct way? I added this in the MainFrame Class:

void CMainFrame::OnFileNew()
{
CSFPAView *pFV = (CSFPAView *)GetActiveView();
if (pFV->DoBeforeExit())
{
CSingleDocTemplate * pTemplate = (CSingleDocTemplate *) GetActiveDocument()->GetDocTemplate();
pTemplate->OpenDocumentFile(NULL);
}

}

If the document contents have not changed, no prompt is necessary. Otherwise, look at the SetModifiedFlag() method.
