SUMMARY

Using the standard MFC AppWizard as a reference, you can create Custom AppWizards that creates programs for your work environment. This article describes the steps necessary to create a Custom AppWizard in Visual C++ that will generate Visual J++ projects.

NOTE: The steps described in this article are specific to Visual Studio 97. In Visual Studio 6, Visual C++ and Visual J++ are not integrated into the same development environment.

MORE INFORMATION

The following steps can be used to create Custom AppWizards that creates programs for your work environment.

1. Create a new Custom AppWizard Project.
   • Select "Your own custom steps". If you try to create it from an existing Java project, it will not work.

2. Click Finish and click OK when the confirmation dialog box appears.



3. Select the ClassView tab and expand the C<your project name>AppWiz class. Double-click InitCustomAppWiz to edit this member function.



4. In the implementation for InitCustomAppWiz, add the following after the // TODO comments:




<your project name>aw.m_Dictionary.SetAt(_T("PROJTYPE_JAVA"), _T("1") ); 

5. Override CCustomAppWz::GetPlatforms(StringList& rPlatforms) in your C<your project name>AppWiz class.



6. Remove references to the Win32 x86 platform by placing the following code in the implementation of GetPlatforms.




POSITION pos = rPlatforms.GetHeadPosition();

while( pos != NULL)

{

   POSITION posCurr = pos;

   CString strPlatform = rPlatforms.GetNext(pos);

   if( strPlatform.Left(5) == _T("Win32") )

      rPlatforms.RemoveAt(posCurr);

} 

7. Build your project.
