Why would CreateObject() fail

[kpy79]

and give me "Fail to create empty document" message?

Debug your App, step in in the code to see what could be the cause and where (in which module).

I did and after stepping into the function of ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo) it is failing inside the function CreateObject.

   // Dispatch commands specified on the command line
   if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
   {
      pSystemLog->LogMessage("Failure in ProcessShellCommand dispatch for command line arguments.",LOG_LEVEL_ERROR);
      return FALSE;
   }

CObject* CRuntimeClass::CreateObject()
{
	if (m_pfnCreateObject == NULL)
	{
		TRACE(traceAppMsg, 0,
			_T("Error: Trying to create object which is not ")
			_T("DECLARE_DYNCREATE \nor DECLARE_SERIAL: %hs.\n"),
			m_lpszClassName);
		return NULL;
	}

	CObject* pObject = NULL;
	TRY
	{
		pObject = (*m_pfnCreateObject)();
	}
	END_TRY

	return pObject;
}

All of this is causing the application to get an error message "Failed to create empty document"

Have you modified something/anything in the Doc,View or the frame class ??

Can you post the project here ?

Hello
I know this is too old to help but for future reference:

When I get a fail to create it is usually because I have deleted something
from a dialog without deleting the associated variable .

Unlike your example I usually get an nID error inside the MS assert codes
which will point to something in the rc file. Any references to the number and to the associated pneumonic (ID_Button) have to be removed.

Best Regards

That pretty clearly isn't the case here.
