Introduction
This article explains the implementation of a simple Doc View framework in a WTL (version 7.5) MDI application. The sample project included with this article is a wizard-generated MDI application enhanced with my framework classes. I enhanced code from Gabriel Kniznik with a little bit closer to the MFC DocView approach, and there exists only one kind of document template - MDI Document template. This framework was written in a week, so I apologize for mistakes and unfinished solutions :).
In this article is also participating Rodrigo Pinho Pereira de Souza, who made great enhancements to this framework (see the History section).
Implementation
In the demo project, you can see how to integrate the framework to your own project. You have to make changes to CMainFrame, CChildFrame, CYourView, and create a new class CYourDoc. Do not forget to change the IDR_CHILDFRAME string to the form for MFC -> \nDocument\nDVF\n\n\nDVFSimple.Document\nDVF Document.
Below is a simplified class diagram of the framework:
