Starting a new MFC "Single Document Interface" style program in Visual Studio 2022.

The second video in this playlist of MFC tutorials demonstrates the basics of getting a plain-generic Windows program authored in Visual Studio 2015

This post is to document the difference between what is shown in that video and the current situation in VS 2022.

 

Video time - 0:35

Add new Project to solution (this presumes you already a "solution" loaded in VS)

(In this image I am adding the new Project to an existing folder in an existing solution)

 

Choose MFC App, then Next

 

0:40

Enter Project name

(location should default to being in your existing Solution)

 

2:10

Choose Project options

This screen mimics the choices in the video

 

2:12 The VS 2015 screen in the video at 2:12 has no exact match in VS2022

 

2:14

This VS2022 screen is default auto-populated with names based on the project name.

 

2:17 The VS 2015 screen in the video at 2:17 has no exact match in VS2022

2:19

Choose Interface features

This screen matches the choices in the video

 

2:32

Choose Advanced features

This screen matches the choices in the video

 

2:37

Generated Class Options

This screen is default populated with class names based on your Project name.

 

2:51

Created Project

 

5:30

Compiling the Project now should run default MFC "Single Document Interface" window:

 

 

12:15 i had to delete the "Save" Button from the _256 toolbar

 

17:30 Choose Project>Class Wizard instead of "Add Class", then choose MFC in wizard

 

18:00

Choose from drop down list first then edit ClassName

Then OK, then OK in Class Wizard window
