native win32
-
Hello All, I am going to get straight to the point. I am new to win32. I am trying to write an application that resembles an MDI application. That is, it has a main frame window and children. However, what I would like to do is instead of having the children frames as windows, I would like to have them as dialog boxes. As mentioned I am new to win32 and would like to use the GUI buid tools. The whole point of using win32 is because I have some stuff written in native win32 c++ that I would like to use and it will be a lot easier using the dialog box GUI build tools. Can this be done? and Can any one help me with this? That is, creating the structure with a main window and some dialog boxes as the children of the main window such that it resembles an MDI application. live life

Do you mean using Win32 SDK way to program a MDI program? Yes it can be done in the SDK way, but would take you tons of efforts. To use some libraries like MFC or some others would save you much efforts.

If your writing a common desktop application with no strict speed requirements, i recommend MFC. I like win32 sdk very much but when times get rough, its nice to have plan B. :rolleyes: "You have to be in a situation where you see just how fast things fail to make you take it seriously, I guess.
