================================================================================ MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : Diagnostic Project Overview =============================================================================== The application wizard has created this Diagnostic application for you. This application not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft Foundation Classes but is also a starting point for writing your application. This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that make up your Diagnostic application. Diagnostic.vcproj This is the main project file for VC++ projects generated using an application wizard. It contains information about the version of Visual C++ that generated the file, and information about the platforms, configurations, and project features selected with the application wizard. Diagnostic.h This is the main header file for the application. It includes other project specific headers and declares the CDiagnosticApp application class. Diagnostic.cpp This is the main application source file that contains the application class CDiagnosticApp. Diagnostic.rc This is the project's main resource file listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the project uses. It includes the icons, bitmaps, and cursors that are stored in the RES subdirectory. This file can be directly edited in Microsoft Visual C++. Your project resources are in 1033. When the .rc file is persisted, the defines in the data section are persisted as the hexadecimal version of the numeric value they are defined to rather than the friendly name of the define. res\Diagnostic.rc2 This file contains resources that are not edited by Microsoft Visual C++. You should place all resources not editable by the resource editor in this file. res\Diagnostic.ico This is an icon file, which is used as the application's icon. This icon is included by the main resource file. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The application wizard creates one dialog class: DiagnosticDlg.h, DiagnosticDlg.cpp - the dialog These files contain your CDiagnosticDlg class. This class defines the behavior of your application's main dialog. The dialog's template is in the main resource file, which can be edited in Microsoft Visual C++. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other standard files: StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named Diagnostic.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj. Resource.h This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs. Microsoft Visual C++ reads and updates this file. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other notes: The application wizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you should add to or customize. If your application uses MFC in a shared DLL, and your application is in a language other than the operating system's current language, you will need to copy the corresponding localized resources MFC90XXX.DLL to your application directory ("XXX" stands for the language abbreviation. For example, MFC90DEU.DLL contains resources translated to German.) If you don't do this, some of the UI elements of your application will remain in the language of the operating system. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
