CView : creation

[Geof]

I use two class in a none doc\view application. The first one is derive from CMDIChildWnd and the second one is derive from CView. I Create the CMDIChildWnd this way :

pFrame->CreateNewChild( RUNTIME_CLASS(WndGridChild), IDR_INTERFTYPE, m_hMDIMenu, m_hMDIAccel);

The CView derived class is create this way :

BOOL WndGridChild::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo) 
{
	if (m_GridView->OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo))
		return TRUE;
	
	return CMDIChildWnd::OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo);
}

BOOL WndGridChild::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext) 
{
	pContext->m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CGridView);

	m_GridView = (CGridView*)CreateView(pContext);

	if(NULL == m_GridView)
	{
		return FALSE;
	}
	
	return CMDIChildWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs, pContext);
}

When I create this window I don't why it call 2 times all functions for View creation ( OnInitialUpdate, PreCreateWindow, Constructor etc ).

Evedently I would like it call it one time.

Thank you

This is because you create two views.
Do this:

BOOL WndGridChild::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext) 
{
	pContext->m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CGridView);
	
	m_GridView = (CGridView*)CreateView(pContext); //Cretes view
	
	if(NULL == m_GridView)
	{
		return FALSE;
	}
	return TRUE;
	//return CMDIChildWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs, pContext); //creates view
}

Or this:

	BOOL WndGridChild::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext) 
	{
		pContext->m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CGridView);
		
		return CMDIChildWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs, pContext); 
	}
