AddDocTemplate outside of CWinApp::InitInstance

[Mike Williams]

Hi all,


I am writing an app where need to be able to add multiple document templates

outside of CWinApp::InitInstance(), it is for an MDI application. Does anybody have any idea of whether the framework is supports calling AddDocTemplate outside of CWinApp::InitInstance()? It is a single threaded application.


Thanks in Advance,

Mike

You can do this anywhere, but you should add all document templates to an application before you call RegisterShellFileTypes if you want them to allow the user to open a data file created by your application by double-clicking it from within File Manager.


I think it's OK if you call RegisterShellFileTypes more than once (don't forget to also call the EnableShellOpen member function when you call RegisterShellFileTypes).
