Document/View Creation

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Document-View Creation.

The framework supplies implementations of the New and Open commands (among others) on the File menu. Creation of a new document and its associated view and frame window is a cooperative effort among the application object, a document template, the newly created document, and the newly created frame window. The following table summarizes which objects create what.

Object Creators

Creator	Creates
Application object	Document template
Document template	Document
Document template	Frame window
Frame window	View
