Q. Visual Studio 6 had "Class Wizard" but Visual Studio doesn't.
How do I accomplish the things that Class Wizard did?
A. Create a class for a dialog:
Right-click on your a part of your dialog where there is no
control and select "Add Class..."
Make a variable that's tied to a control:
Right-click on a control and select "Add Variable..."
Make a method for a an event for a control (eg OnChange)...
Right-click on a control and select "Add Event Handler"
or
Right-click on a control and select "Properties"
then click on lighting bolt icon at the top.
Make a method for a Windows message sent to the dialog:
Right-click on your a part of your dialog where there is no
control and select "Properties"
Click on the right-most icon at the top for as list of Windows
messages.
Make a method that overrides a CDialog method (eg OnInitDialog()):
From the main menu select:
View > Class View
Find your class (eg CMyDialog) in the Class View.
(You type the first view letters into the search box.)
Right-click on your class and select Properties.
Click on the 3D cube icon at the top to access overrides.
(In my opinion the old Class Wizard was nicer for this because
you saw the Windows messages and overrides together without
having to guess which was which.)
Make your own method or variable in the dialog:
In the Class View right-click on your class and
select "Add..."
(Or you can just edit the code.)
