how to hide the view of MDI program at startup
-
Hi, I would like to hide the view of MDI, so only the toolbar and menu would be visible. How can I do that? Ehsan Behboudi
A way could be to avoid to open a blank file when opening the application. To do so, in YourApp::InitInstance, set the m_nShellCommand attribute of the CCommandLineInfo object to CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing before processing it (ProcessShellCmd). From MSDN:
BOOL CMyWinApp::InitInstance() { ... // Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo; ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); // DON'T display a new MDI child window during startup!!! cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing; // Dispatch commands specified on the command line if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; ... };HTH, K.

thanks for your response, but it doesn't seem to work!!! I copy pasted the code in my InitInstance() so now it looks like the following: BOOL CMotionControllerApp::InitInstance() { // CG: The following block was added by the Splash Screen component. \ { \ CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo; \ ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); \ \ CSplashWnd::EnableSplashScreen(cmdInfo.m_bShowSplash); \ } AfxEnableControlContainer(); // Standard initialization // If you are not using these features and wish to reduce the size // of your final executable, you should remove from the following // the specific initialization routines you do not need. #ifdef _AFXDLL Enable3dControls(); // Call this when using MFC in a shared DLL #else Enable3dControlsStatic(); // Call this when linking to MFC statically #endif // Change the registry key under which our settings are stored. // TODO: You should modify this string to be something appropriate // such as the name of your company or organization. SetRegistryKey(_T("Local AppWizard-Generated Applications")); LoadStdProfileSettings(); // Load standard INI file options // Register the application's document templates. Document templates // serve as the connection between documents, frame windows and CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate; pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate( IDR_MAINFRAME, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerDoc), RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerView)); AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate); // Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo; ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); //This is your code, it is at the correct spot? cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing; // Dispatch commands specified on the command line if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; // The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update // m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); // m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; } Ehsan Behboudi

I don't understand why you have two calls to ParseCommandLine. The following implementation should be enough.
BOOL CMotionControllerApp::InitInstance() { AfxEnableControlContainer(); // Standard initialization // If you are not using these features and wish to reduce the size // of your final executable, you should remove from the following // the specific initialization routines you do not need. #ifdef _AFXDLL Enable3dControls(); // Call this when using MFC in a shared DLL #else Enable3dControlsStatic(); // Call this when linking to MFC statically #endif // Change the registry key under which our settings are stored. // TODO: You should modify this string to be something appropriate // such as the name of your company or organization. SetRegistryKey(_T("Local AppWizard-Generated Applications")); LoadStdProfileSettings(); // Load standard INI file options // Register the application's document templates. Document templates // serve as the connection between documents, frame windows and CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate; pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate( IDR_MAINFRAME, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerDoc), RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerView)); AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate); // Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo; ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); CSplashWnd::EnableSplashScreen(cmdInfo.m_bShowSplash); cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing; // Dispatch commands specified on the command line if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; // The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update // m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); // m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; }Is theProcessShellCommandmethod overriden somewhere in your code? Check your mail, I sent a small demo application to you. HTH, K.
