Document/View Tasks

HomeOverviewDetailsSampleTutorial

By default, AppWizard creates an application skeleton with a document class and a view class. MFC separates data management into these two classes. The document stores the data and manages printing the data and coordinates updating multiple views of the data. The view displays the data and manages user interaction with it, including selection and editing.

For the rationale behind separating document from view, see Document/View Architecture: Overview. For alternatives to document/view, see Alternatives to the Document/View Architecture.
