Remarks
When your application starts MMC using the MMC 2.0 automation object model, a document and view are automatically created. OnDocumentOpen and OnNewView events will not be sent for the initial document and view, as MMC does not begin sending events until after the first view has been created. The OnDocumentOpen and OnNewView events aren't required during application startup, as the application can easily open a document (by calling the Application.Load method) or make a new view (by calling the Views.Add method). MMC sends your application the OnDocumentClose and OnViewClose events when the initial document and view are closed.
