From: bernd on 17 May 2010 10:11 Hi, how is it possible to start the programm / sdi-application with the last-open document (with all its configurations e.g. which checkbox is checked and which is not) ? best regards Bernd

You inevitably have to save all that information and make use of it on startup. I've not used it myself, but maybe the restart manager support in the latest version of MFC (VS2010) may be of interest to you if you're trying to handle restart after a crash situation. Dave
From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 17 May 2010 13:06 I find this is most easily done by storing the state in the Registry. When the program starts up, you check the Registry, and locate the file name that was saved. If this file is still in existence, you would read the rest of the settings, then open that file for your document. Most of this would happen in OnOpenDocument. joe On Mon, 17 May 2010 07:11:00 -0700 (PDT), bernd <bernd.schuster12(a)googlemail.com> wrote: >Hi, > >how is it possible to start the programm / sdi-application with the >last-open document (with all its configurations e.g. which checkbox is >checked and which is not) ? > > >best regards >Bernd Joseph M.

I do this in InitInstance: if( cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand == cmdInfo.FileOpen ) OpenDocumentFile( cmdInfo.m_strFileName ); else if( oProfile.bOpenLastProject && (*m_pRecentFileList)[0].GetLength() > 0 ) OnOpenRecentFile( ID_FILE_MRU_FIRST ); In my case I have an app level configuration previously loaded, (oProfile). i.e., I have global settings that encompass all projects/(documents) and the project/(document) settings. If you are going to grow this app you may want to think that way and use xml files to store info. I'm sure you would be setting conditions at both a global and project level as you go along. I have only two registry entries, the path to the program folder and the path to the user, (global settings), folder. Best, Dan.

If you do SetRegistryKey(_T("MyOrg")) and your program is called "MyProg", your most recent file list will be stored by MFC into HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyOrg\MyProg. After you call LoadStdProfileSettings, you can do e.g.: if (m_pRecentFileList && m_pRecentFileList->GetSize()>0) { cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand=CCommandLineInfo::FileOpen; cmdInfo.m_strFileName=(*m_pRecentFileList)[0]; } and let MFC do the rest. In other words, you can simply modify cmdInfo before going to ProcessShellCommand and that's it. Goran. |
