How to Exclude MFC Code from VS2008 Code Analysis

Question

I have a C ++ / CLI project that uses CWinFormsControl and CWinFormsView to create .NET controls in my MFC views. For this, I need to # enable "afxwinforms.h".

When I run Code Analysis in a project, I always get warnings about some of the MFC classes that I included. Examples:

3>Running Code Analysis... 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.h(87) : warning: CA1704 : Microsoft.Naming : In method 'CWin32Window::CWin32Window(HWND__*)', correct the spelling of 'Wnd' in parameter name 'hWnd' or remove it entirely if it represents any sort of Hungarian notation. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.h(87) : warning: CA1704 : Microsoft.Naming : In method 'CWin32Window::CWin32Window(HWND__*)', correct the spelling of 'h' in parameter name 'hWnd' or remove it entirely if it represents any sort of Hungarian notation. 3>warning: CA1051 : Microsoft.Design : Because field 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::m_pControl' is visible outside of its declaring type, change its accessibility to private and add a property, with the same accessibility as the field has currently, to provide access to it. 3>warning: CA1051 : Microsoft.Design : Because field 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::m_pSink' is visible outside of its declaring type, change its accessibility to private and add a property, with the same accessibility as the field has currently, to provide access to it. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl(60) : warning: CA1704 : Microsoft.Naming : In method 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::OnHandleCreated(Object^, EventArgs^)', consider providing a more meaningful name than parameter name 'o'. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl(60) : warning: CA2109 : Microsoft.Security : Consider making 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::OnHandleCreated(Object^, EventArgs^)' not externally visible. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl(67) : warning: CA1704 : Microsoft.Naming : In method 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::OnHandleDestroyed(Object^, EventArgs^)', consider providing a more meaningful name than parameter name 'o'. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl(67) : warning: CA2109 : Microsoft.Security : Consider making 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::OnHandleDestroyed(Object^, EventArgs^)' not externally visible. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\atlmfc\include\afxwinforms.inl(54) : warning: CA1704 : Microsoft.Naming : Correct the spelling of 'Unadvise' in member name 'CWinFormsEventsHelper::Unadvise(IHandleEvents*)' or remove it entirely if it represents any sort of Hungarian notation. 3>warning: CA1823 : Microsoft.Performance : It appears that field 'context_node_base::_Needs_Context' is never used or is only ever assigned to.

If so, remove the code from the assembly. If this class is intended to contain only static methods, consider adding a private constructor to prevent the compiler from generating a default constructor. 3>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\msclr\marshal.h(366) : warning: CA2201 : Microsoft.Usage : 'context_node<char const *,System::String ^>::context_node<char const *,System::String ^>(const char*&, String^)' creates an exception of type 'OutOfMemoryException', an exception type that is reserved by the runtime and should never be raised by managed code. If this exception instance might be thrown, use a different exception type. 

Obviously, I would like to suppress these MFC warnings so that I can more clearly see my own. But how? I do not want to disable any warnings from my own code in order to get around this problem.

By adding the following to stdafx.h, all of the MFC warnings were removed (detected by suppressing warnings from the error list window in the project suppression file, then move them to stdafx)

 CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2201:DoNotRaiseReservedExceptionTypes", Scope="member", Target="msclr.interop.context_node<char const *,System::String ^>.#.ctor({modopt(System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsConst),modopt(System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsSignUnspecifiedByte)}System.SByte*{modopt(System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsImplicitlyDereferenced)}*,System.String)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Design", "CA1051:DoNotDeclareVisibleInstanceFields", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#m_pControl"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Design", "CA1051:DoNotDeclareVisibleInstanceFields", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#m_pSink"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1823:AvoidUnusedPrivateFields", Scope="member", Target="msclr.interop.context_node_base.#_Needs_Context"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Performance", "CA1812:AvoidUninstantiatedInternalClasses", Scope="type", Target="msclr.interop.context_node<char const *,System::String ^>"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1704:IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly", MessageId="Wnd", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWin32Window.#.ctor(HWND__*)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1704:IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly", MessageId="h", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWin32Window.#.ctor(HWND__*)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1704:IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly", MessageId="o", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#OnHandleCreated(System.Object,System.EventArgs)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Security", "CA2109:ReviewVisibleEventHandlers", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#OnHandleCreated(System.Object,System.EventArgs)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1704:IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly", MessageId="o", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#OnHandleDestroyed(System.Object,System.EventArgs)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Security", "CA2109:ReviewVisibleEventHandlers", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#OnHandleDestroyed(System.Object,System.EventArgs)"); CA_GLOBAL_SUPPRESS_MESSAGE("Microsoft.Naming", "CA1704:IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly", MessageId="Unadvise", Scope="member", Target="Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.CWinFormsEventsHelper.#Unadvise(Microsoft.VisualC.MFC.IHandleEvents*)"); #include <afxwinforms.h> // MFC Windows Forms support

Include afxwinforms.h as follows:

 #pragma warning(push) //disable whatever you need with #pragma warning( disable: warning number) #include <afxwinforms.h> #pragma warning(pop)
