SCRIBBLE Sample: MFC MDI Drawing Application

SCRIBBLE is a small drawing application that lets you draw freehand drawings using the mouse and save the images in a file. The sample provides simple illustrations of a wide breadth of MFC features:

  • Application objects

  • Documents, views, and document templates

  • Commands, message maps, and command user interface updating

  • MDI (multiple document interface) frame and child windows

  • Toolbars and status bars

  • Update hints from documents to views

  • Dialog boxes, data exchange, and validation

  • Scroll view

  • Splitter window

  • Printing and print preview

Refer to other MFC samples for illustrations of advanced use of these features.

SCRIBBLE also includes Visual Editing server functionality.
