CDocument::OnOpenDocument

This member function is called by the framework as part of the File Open command. The default implementation of this function opens the specified file, calls the DeleteContents member function to ensure that the document is empty, calls CObject::Serialize to read the file's contents, and then marks the document as clean. Override this function if you want to use something other than the archive mechanism or the file mechanism. For example, you might write an application where documents represent records in a database rather than separate files.

Syntax

virtual BOOL OnOpenDocument( LPCTSTR lpszPathName );
