Components of a Custom AppWizard Project

When you finish with the Custom AppWizard, you have the basic skeleton of a new AppWizard project created for you. This project consists of two basic types of files: source files for your special AppWizard DLL and template files.

The files located in the Source Files and Header Files folders of the new project are used to create the DLL the AppWizard uses to present the step dialog boxes, and to control the creation of a new project. The Help Files folder also contains files for adding help to your new AppWizard.

Template files are used to provide the new AppWizard with the structure of a new application. These files include resource templates, as well as text templates, which are both located in the Template Files folder. The Template Files folder also contains two special template files: newproj.inf and confirm.inf.

You will look at how all these files work together to create a new AppWizard in the following sections.
