how are the editor programs created?

[lordgreg]

i wonder, at the moment, alot of text editors are created the same way. toolbars and menus on the top, on the left, treeview, on the right, tags and textarea for multidocuments (resizable) and status bar on the bottom. how are those editors created? as a dialog based or doc/view multi documents? thanks for all answers

Take a look at the multipad demo in MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample/html/_sample_mfc_multipad.asp[^] John

thank you for your answer but i don't get it to work: To build and run the MULTIPAD sample 1. Open the solution multipad.sln. 2. On the Build menu, click Build. 3. On the Debug menu, click Start Without Debugging. 1. i opened multipad.sln in the vc++, 2. i cannot use the build button. it's disabled!

Sorry, I am not sure what is wrong with your compiler. What version of VC++ are you using?? John

[lordgreg]

i'm using visual c++ 6.0

That is why... You must load the dsw file if it has one. You should have the same example on your help with a proper .dsw file. I know I do... John
