Member name Description
CPF_CLONEFILE Create a new project based on an existing project template already on disk.
CPF_OPENFILE Project already exists on disk.
CPF_OPENDIRECTORY Obsolete. Do not use.
CPF_SILENT Use when you do not want to report any failure, as in the case of automation.
CPF_OVERWRITE If there is a project of the same name on disk already, then overwrite this project.
CPF_NOTINSLNEXPLR Project is not shown as a normal project in Solution Explorer.
CPF_NONLOCALSTORE Project uses nonlocal storage and different save mechanism.

Remarks

If you determine that a project already exists during a call of CreateProject, query the user to see if they want to overwrite the existing project. If the user does want to overwrite, then call CreateProject again and specify a value of CPF_OVERWRITE for the grfCreateFlags parameter.
