Yes.. It took me some time, But finally I get it. Sorry to disapoint you, But I didn't work with MFC since 1999... It's about 4 years now. =-=-=-=-=-=- The-Server :rose:

In an MDI application, you first create the frame window. Then, you create child frames on request, and fill these frames with view windows. Each child frame owns one and only one view, unless there's a tab control inside the frame. If you need to display text in a view, override the view's ON_WM_PAINT handler and use the TextOut function of the CDC class. This will draw text on your view. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.
