Default Document Open

[Ryan B]

Im writing an MDI app, and I dont want the application to create / show a blank document when the application starts. I know that ProcessShellCommand calls either OnFileNew or OpenDocumentFile (depending on wether a file was specified in the command line). What can I do?

In your app's InitInstance, you should see some code like this:

// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
 
// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
    return FALSE;

Add this line to it:

// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
 
cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing;
 
// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
    return FALSE;

By default, m_nShellCommand is set to FileNew, which creates a new document for you automatically when the app starts.
