    [SOLVED] MFC project - remove extra options created by the wizard

    Hi,

    I am new to MFC and trying to make some extensions on an existing MFC project.

    I am using VS 2010. The programmer used the MFC wizard to create this project and kept the options of visual style switching, and the "properties", "debug" and "file view" dock-able dialogs enabled. [Basically kept defaults switching only from MDI to SDI]

    Screenshot:Name: Capture.jpg Views: 331 Size: 70.1 KB

    Is there any way I can get rid of those? [Other than by clicking close manually]

    If you want a plain simple 1 window application:
    Create a different type of project that doesn't have the docking interface. But just has the 1 SDI window.

    If you want the docked interface, but not the "sample" dockable windows provided...
    Remove the .h and .cpp files of the respective undesired dockable windows from the project and delete the files. Compile, and fix/remove any remaining references to the now removed dockable windows in other sources.

    Re: MFC project - remove extra options created by the wizard

    I removed the .cpp n .h files. At compile I only get linker errors. How do I solve that?

    Did you do the Rebuild <your project>? (from the menu Build)?
    What linker errors did you get?

    Well, your screenshot does not provide any additional useful info.
    So, again:

    If you did then the next question: is CPropertiesWnd is defined in some of the files you removed from the project? If "yes" - then please, remove all the CPropertiesWnd references too.

    Re: MFC project - remove extra options created by the wizard

    I created a new test project to understand how to to this. I delete the files, before using the "Find all references" command and commenting out all references.

    It works fine on the test project but I am unable to compile the main project. It keeps generating linker errors.

    EDIT: I deleted the debug and release directories, moved the project folder to another location and recompiled. It worked.

    Thank you for all the help and I apologize for how stupid the question was.

    If you learned something from this, it was not a stupid question.

    I've been doing C/C++ for many years, and I still ask questions someone else might think are "easy to answer". That doesn't make the question stupid.
