whats OnInitialUpdate??

[Toe]

I'm still new to this game and am frantically slogging my way through a book by some 'Jon Bates' and 'Tim Tomkins' chaps.

In a particular bit on using bitmap resourse ins says (and I quote).....

"...Now add the following line of code to the OnInitialUpdate function"

now, I don't know if I'm going a little blind, or just getting fed up, but I can't find such a function in existance already to modify. (perhaps I should mention that It tells you to do this after starting a new project as 'dialog based' from the MFC wizard).

now I noitice that the CWnd class (from which CDialog is derived)contains such a method - so does the book really mean "create a virtual function function OnInitialUpdate"??

Thanks,

andy.

If You work with Visual C++, the best way is:
1. Create a Doc/View based application with MFC-Assistent (not Dialog based!), for example MyTest
2. For the class CMyTestView start the Classes-Assistent (in menu View), and You will see in the list of functions the OnInitialUpdate() - add it and edit it.
