Data Members

Name	Description
`CWinAppEx::m_bForceImageReset`	Specifies whether the framework will reset all toolbar images when the frame window that contains the toolbar is loaded.

Remarks

Much of the functionality provided by the MFC framework depends on the CWinAppEx class. You can incorporate the CWinAppEx class into your application in one of two ways:

Construct a CWinAppEx class in the main thread.
Derive the main application class from CWinAppEx.

After you incorporate CWinAppEx into your application, you can initialize any one of the application managers. Before you use an application manager, you must initialize it by calling the appropriate initialize method. To obtain a pointer to a specific manager, call the associated get method. The CWinAppEx class manages the following application managers: CMouseManager Class, CContextMenuManager Class, CKeyboardManager Class, CUserToolsManager Class, and CMenuTearOffManager Class.

Requirements

Header: afxwinappex.h

`CWinAppEx::CleanState`

Removes all the information about the application from the Windows registry.

virtual BOOL CleanState(LPCTSTR lpszSectionName=NULL);

Parameters

lpszSectionName
[in] A string that contains a path of a registry key.

Return Value

Nonzero if the method was successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

This method clears application data from a specific section of the registry. You can specify the section to clear by using the parameter lpszSectionName. If lpszSectionName is NULL, this method will use the default registry path stored in the CWinAppEx object. To get the default registry path, use CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase.

`CWinAppEx::CWinAppEx`

Constructs a CWinAppEx object.

CWinAppEx(BOOL bResourceSmartUpdate = FALSE);

Parameters

bResourceSmartUpdate
[in] A Boolean parameter that specifies whether the workspace object should detect and handle resource updates.

Remarks

The CWinAppEx class has initialization methods, provides functionality for saving and loading application information to the registry, and controls global application settings. It also enables you to use global managers such as the CKeyboardManager Class and the CUserToolsManager Class. Each application can have only one instance of the CWinAppEx class.

`CWinAppEx::EnableLoadWindowPlacement`

Specifies whether the application will load the initial size and location of the main frame window from the registry.

void EnableLoadWindowPlacement(BOOL bEnable = TRUE);

Parameters

bEnable
[in] Specifies whether the application loads the initial size and location of the main frame window from the registry.

Remarks

By default, the size and location of the main frame is loaded from the registry together with other application settings. This occurs during CWinAppEx::LoadState. If you don't want to load the initial window placement from the registry, call this method with bEnable set to FALSE.

`CWinAppEx::EnableTearOffMenus`

Creates and initializes a CMenuTearOffManager object.

BOOL EnableTearOffMenus(
    LPCTSTR lpszRegEntry,
    const UINT uiCmdFirst,
    const UINT uiCmdLast);

Parameters

lpszRegEntry
[in] A string that contains the path of a registry key. The application uses this registry key to store information for the tear-off menus.

uiCmdFirst
[in] The first tear off menu ID.

uiCmdLast
[in] The last tear off menu ID.

Return Value

TRUE if the CMenuTearOffManager is created and initialized successfully; FALSE if an error occurs or if the CMenuTearOffManager already exists.

Remarks

Use this function to enable tear-off menus in your application. You should call this function from InitInstance.

`CWinAppEx::EnableUserTools`

Enables the user to create custom menu commands that reduce keystrokes in your application. This method creates a CUserToolsManager object.

BOOL EnableUserTools(
    const UINT uiCmdToolsDummy,
    const UINT uiCmdFirst,
    const UINT uiCmdLast,
    CRuntimeClass* pToolRTC = RUNTIME_CLASS(CUserTool),
    UINT uArgMenuID = 0,
    UINT uInitDirMenuID = 0);

Parameters

uiCmdToolsDummy
[in] An unsigned integer that the framework uses as a placeholder for the command ID of the user tools menu.

uiCmdFirst
[in] The command ID for the first user tool command.

uiCmdLast
[in] The command ID for the last user tool command.

pToolRTC
[in] A class that the CUserToolsManager object uses to create new user tools.

uArgMenuID
[in] The argument menu ID.

uInitDirMenuID
[in] The menu ID for the initial tool directory.

Return Value

TRUE if the method creates and initializes a CUserToolsManager object; FALSE if the method fails or if a CUserToolsManager object already exists.

Remarks

When you enable user-defined tools, the framework automatically supports a dynamic menu that can be extended during customization. The framework associates each new item with an external command. The framework invokes these commands when the user selects the appropriate item from the Tools menu.

Every time the user adds a new item, the framework creates a new object. The class type for the new object is defined by pToolRTC. The pToolRTC class type must be derived from the CUserTool Class.

For more information about user tools and how to incorporate them into your application, see User-defined Tools.

`CWinAppEx::ExitInstance`

virtual int ExitInstance();

Return Value

Remarks

`CWinAppEx::LoadCustomState`

The framework calls this method after it loads the state of the application from the registry.

virtual void LoadCustomState();

Remarks

Override this method if you want to do any processing after the application loads the state from the registry. By default, this method does nothing.

In order to load custom state information from the registry, the information must first be saved by using CWinAppEx::SaveCustomState.

`CWinAppEx::LoadState`

Reads the application state from the Windows registry.

BOOL LoadState(
    CMDIFrameWndEx* pFrame,
    LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL);

BOOL LoadState(

Remarks

This method loads the state of the application and any state information for a frame window. The loaded information for the frame window is applied to the supplied frame window. If you don't supply a frame window, only the application state information is loaded. The application information includes the state of the CMouseManager Class, CContextMenuManager Class, CKeyboardManager Class, and the CUserToolsManager Class.

The default implementation of CFrameImpl::OnLoadFrame calls LoadState.

The lpszSectionName parameter isn't the absolute path for a registry entry. It's a relative path that is added to the end of the default registry key for your application. To get or set the default registry key, use the methods CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase and CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase respectively.

`CWinAppEx::LoadWindowPlacement`

Called by the framework when it loads the size and location of the main frame window from the registry.

virtual BOOL LoadWindowPlacement(
    CRect& rectNormalPosition,
    int& nFlags,
    int& nShowCmd);

Parameters

rectNormalPosition

virtual void SaveCustomState();

Remarks

Override this method if you want to do any processing after the application saves the state to the registry. By default, this method does nothing.

`CWinAppEx::SaveState`

Writes the application state to the Windows registry.

virtual BOOL SaveState(
    LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL,
    CFrameImpl* pFrameImpl = NULL);

BOOL SaveState(
    CMDIFrameWndEx* pFrame,
    LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL);

BOOL SaveState(
    CFrameWndEx* pFrame,
    LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL);

BOOL SaveState(
    COleIPFrameWndEx* pFrame,
    LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL);

Parameters

lpszSectionName
[in] A string that contains the relative path of a registry key.

pFrameImpl
[in] A pointer to a CFrameImpl object. This frame is saved to the Windows registry.

pFrame
[in] A pointer to a frame window object. This frame is saved to the Windows registry.

Return Value

TRUE if successful; FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

This method saves the state of the application and any state information for the provided frame window. If you don't provide a frame window, the method only saves the application state. The application information includes the state of the CMouseManager Class, CContextMenuManager Class, CKeyboardManager Class, and the CUserToolsManager Class.

The lpszSectionName parameter isn't the absolute path for a registry entry. It's a relative path that is appended to the end of the default registry key for your application. To get or set the default registry key, use the methods CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase and CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase respectively.

`CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase`

Sets the default registry path for the application.

LPCTSTR SetRegistryBase(LPCTSTR lpszSectionName = NULL);

Parameters

lpszSectionName
[in] A string that contains the path of a registry key.

Return Value

A string that contains the path of the default registry location.

Remarks

All methods of the CWinAppEx Class that access the registry start in a default location. Use this method to change that default registry location. Use CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase to retrieve the default registry location.

`CWinAppEx::ShowPopupMenu`

Displays a popup menu.

virtual BOOL ShowPopupMenu(
    UINT uiMenuResId,
    const CPoint& point,
    CWnd* pWnd);

Parameters

uiMenuResId
[in] A menu resource ID.

point
[in] A CPoint that specifies the position of the menu in screen coordinates.

pWnd
[in] A pointer to the window that owns the popup menu.

Return Value

Nonzero if the popup menu is displayed successfully; 0 otherwise.

Remarks

This method displays the menu associated with uiMenuResId.

To support popup menus, you must have a CContextMenuManager object. If you haven't initialized the CContextMenuManager object, ShowPopupMenu will fail.

`CWinAppEx::StoreWindowPlacement`

Called by the framework to write the size and location of the main frame window to the registry.

virtual BOOL StoreWindowPlacement(
    const CRect& rectNormalPosition,
    int nFlags,
    int nShowCmd);

Parameters

nFlags
[in] Flags that control the position of the minimized window and how the operating system switches between a minimized window and a restored window.

nShowCmd
[in] An integer that specifies the show state of the window. For more information about possible values, see CWnd::ShowWindow.

rectNormalPosition
[in] A rectangle that contains the coordinates of the main frame window when it is in the restored state.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; 0 otherwise.

Remarks

By default, MFC automatically saves the position and state of the main frame window before the application exits. This information is stored in the Windows registry under the WindowPlacement key in the default registry location for your application. For more information about the default registry location of your application, see CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase.

Override this method if you want to store additional information about the main frame window.

`CWinAppEx::WriteBinary`

Writes binary data to the registry.

BOOL WriteBinary(
    LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
    LPBYTE pData,
    UINT nBytes);

Parameters

lpszEntry
[in] A string that contains the name of a registry key.

pData
[in] The data to store.

nBytes
[in] The size of pData in bytes.

Return Value

TRUE if this method is successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

If the key specified by lpszEntry doesn't exist, this method will create it.

`CWinAppEx::WriteInt`

Writes numeric data to the registry.

BOOL WriteInt(
    LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
    int nValue);

Parameters

lpszEntry
[in] A string that contains the name of a registry key.

nValue
[in] The data to store.

Return Value

TRUE if this method is successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

If the key specified by lpszEntry doesn't exist, this method will create it.

`CWinAppEx::WriteObject`

Writes data derived from the CObject Class to the registry.

BOOL WriteObject(
    LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
    CObject& obj);

Parameters

lpszEntry
[in] A string that contains the value to set.

obj
[in] A reference to CObject data that the method will store.

Return Value

TRUE if this method is successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

This method writes the obj data to the specified value under the default registry key. Use CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase to determine the current registry key.

`CWinAppEx::WriteSectionBinary`

Writes binary data to a value in the registry.

BOOL WriteSectionBinary(
    LPCTSTR lpszSubSection,
    LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
    LPBYTE pData,

lpszEntry
[in] A string that contains the value to set.

pData
[in] The data to write to the registry.

nBytes
[in] The size of pData in bytes.

Return Value

TRUE if this method is successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

The lpszSubSection parameter isn't the absolute path for a registry entry. It's a relative path that is appended to the end of the default registry key for your application. To get or set the default registry key, use the methods CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase and CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase respectively.

If the key specified by lpszEntry doesn't exist, this method will create it.

`CWinAppEx::WriteSectionInt`
