12 VISUAL STUDIO The Visual Studio is an integrated environment for developing Windows applications The programmer is provided with appropriate tools to view, modify and edit different parts of the program Introduction 12

13 VISUAL STUDIO An application consists of many parts that together make up a project: Classes Resources Dialogs Menus Icons Toolbars Parts of an application are stored in different files that are contained within a folder called the project workspace Introduction 13

14 APPLICATION TYPES Dialog Based Application The main window is a Dialog Box Performs a well defined task Calculator Introduction 14

15 APPLICATION TYPES Single Document Application Allows opening of only one document at any given time Notepad Introduction 15

16 APPLICATION TYPES Multiple Document Application Allows opening of more than one document at any given time Each document is displayed within a Childframe which is in turn contained within the client area of the MainFrame Word Introduction 16

17 WIZARDS Wizards assist programmers by constructing a minimal application that is then enhanced by the programmer MFC AppWizard MFC Console Application allowing the programmer to modify the program in a fairly high level Class Wizard Introduction 17

18 WIZARDS AppWizard is a tool that based on user specifications, writes a minimal Windows application using MFC Class Wizard is a tool that assists programmer write classes, add members to classes and write eventhandlers Introduction 18
