Hi,

We are using MSDev studio 6.0 and have many classes that derive from MFC.

Each time we create Property pages, dialogs, etc... the MSDev wizard only
offers the MFC classes as the base class.

How can we add our own classes in the list offered by the "New Class"
dialog? (or, is there an alternate solution to this problem?)

Thank you,

Seb

If you haven't seen it yet, in the New Class disalog, change Class Type: to
Generic Class. Many times, the base class you want isn't listed. Pick
something like CWnd or
CCmdTarget, then delete what you don't need after the files are generated.

The method you described is what I've been doing many years. What I would
like to do instead, is fully generate new classes based on my own base
classes, with macros, virtuals, etc...

I wrote my own class generator "wizard" but I need to delete the class
wizard and insert the files manually to my project afterwards. I would like
to hook myself into the MS-Dev's "New Class" dialog instead.
