======================================================================== MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : [!output PROJECT_NAME] Project Overview ======================================================================== AppWizard has created this [!output PROJECT_NAME] DLL for you. This DLL not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft Foundation classes but is also a starting point for writing your DLL. This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that make up your [!output PROJECT_NAME] DLL. [!output PROJECT_NAME].vcxproj 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. [!output PROJECT_NAME].vcxproj.filters This is the filters file for VC++ projects generated using an Application Wizard. It contains information about the association between the files in your project and the filters. This association is used in the IDE to show grouping of files with similar extensions under a specific node (for e.g. ".cpp" files are associated with the "Source Files" filter). [!if DLL_TYPE_EXTENSION] [!output PROJECT_NAME].cpp This is the main DLL source file that contains the definition of DllMain(). [!else] [!output PROJECT_NAME].h This is the main header file for the DLL. It declares the [!output APP_CLASS] class. [!output PROJECT_NAME].cpp This is the main DLL source file. It contains the class [!output APP_CLASS]. [!if AUTOMATION] It also contains the OLE entry points required of inproc servers. [!endif] [!endif] [!if AUTOMATION] [!output SAFE_IDL_NAME].idl This file contains the Object Description Language source code for the type library of your DLL. [!endif] [!output RC_FILE_NAME] This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the program 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++. res\[!output RC2_FILE_NAME].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. [!output PROJECT_NAME].def This file contains information about the DLL that must be provided to run with Microsoft Windows. It defines parameters such as the name and description of the DLL. It also exports functions from the DLL. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Other standard files: StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named [!output PROJECT_NAME].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: AppWizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you should add to or customize. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
