NOTE
TIP
The Window menu is usually reserved for MDI applications. You
probably won’t put a Window menu on your SDI application’s menu
bar unless you have a specialty app that requires it.
The menus added by the Application Wizard are a reasonable representation
of the menu items that are most commonly used in Windows
applications. Remember that the Application Wizard is intended to
give you a head start in creating your application. It is up to you to take
the basic structure and modify it to make a working application.
After you have chosen the menus you want for your application, click the Next button to
move on to the next page.
Page Two: Setting the File Dialog Filters
If you chose to add a File menu to your application, the next page displayed will look like the
one in Figure 9.9.
Figure 9.9.
Setting filters for the
File dialog boxes.
This page allows you to set the filters that your application’s File Open and File Save dialog
boxes will use. (Figure 9.9 shows the dialog box after the filters have been added.) Click the
Add button to add a new filter. A dialog box is displayed, asking for the description and the
filter. Enter the filters exactly as you do when setting the Filter property for the common
file dialog box components. Enter the textual description and then the actual file mask (*.bmp,
for instance). The Edit, Delete, Up, and Down buttons can be used as necessary to change,
delete, or move the filter in the list.
