Prevent New Dialog from popping up

[martenbengtsson]

In my SDI application I have three views connected ton one Document. The views are divided by splitters. On start up and when clicking new in the file menu a dialog pops up. This dialog wants the user to pick a view or document (I'm not sure which) in a list and press OK. I always pick the first choice in the list and press OK. I don't want this dialog to pop up. Does anyone know how to get rid of the dialog box?

In your InitInstance function of your FooApp class you should
see

    // 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; 

Change this to

    CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
    cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing;
    ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

    // Dispatch commands specified on the command line
    if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
        return FALSE;

    FooDocTemplate->OpenDocumentFile(NULL); 

Where FooDocTemplate is the desired doc template that was just created above

That's probably one of the most often asked (and answered) questions here... There's even an article on that subject.

Not really, I fear... You answered how to prevent a new document from being created on startup - but that was not the question...

Yup, my mistake. I was assuming the new file stuff would just
be removed completely.
