HOWTO: Create a Browser Library for the Common Control Classes
ID: Q138326
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 2.1, 2.2
SUMMARY
As shipped on the 32-bit Edition Visual C++ CD-ROM compact disc, the
Mfc.bsc browser database lacks information for the new MFC common control
classes. This article describes the steps necessary to build the browse
information for these new classes.
MORE INFORMATION
Follow this procedure:
- Verify that you have at least 90 megabytes of free disk space on the
drive where Visual C++ is installed. This much space is required to
build the browse information. 86 megabytes can be freed once the browser
database has been built.
- Make a backup copy of the Makefile in Msvc20\Mfc\Src so that it can be
easily restored.
- Edit the Makefile to include the new common controls classes:
Change this line:
$D\winctrl1.obj $D\winbtn.obj \
to this:
$D\winctrl1.obj $D\winctrl2.obj $D\winbtn.obj \
- On some Visual C++ version 2.20 compact discs, the Appui3.cpp file
contains an error. View the Appui3.cpp file that was installed in your
Msvc20\Mfc\Src directory, and remove any characters that appear before
the // (that is, the start of the comment) on the first line.
- From a Command Prompt, run the \Msvc20\Bin\Vcvars32.Bat file to set
the proper environment variables.
- Change to the \Msvc20\Mfc\Src directory, and build the browse
information by running the NMAKE tool:
nmake browseonly=1 no_pch=1
- Provided you do not plan to rebuild the browse database frequently,
remove all files in the $NWD directory, and then remove the directory
itself. The intermediate .sbr files occupy roughly 54 megabytes of disk
space and are not required to use the browser.
- If you want, rename the new browse file from NafxcWD.bsc to Mfc.bsc.
To use the browser file, start Visual C++, and on the File menu, click
Open. Then choose the .BSC file that you just created. The Browser window
will appear, and you can then look up any of the MFC functions or data
variables including the common control classes such as CListCtrl.

Please refer to Chapter 13 of the Visual C++ User's Guide in Books Online
for information on how to effectively use the browser.
