Preventing a new document opening on start up of exe

[classT]

Hi, I have a multi-document project which, when launched, automatically opens a new document. This is obviously because of the settings I put in when I created the project.

However, I would like the user to determine whether this happens on launch through options/preferences. Only problem is, I can't find the piece of code in my project which creates the new document on launch so I can decide whether or not to intercept it depending on the user's options.

Can anybody help?

In your CWinApp derived class, locate the InitInstance() function definitions. Within the function, look for the lines:

    CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
    ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

Change it to:

    CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;

    cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing;

    ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
