I like your idea better. Glad you got figured it out.

Add your own handlers for cut/copy/paste ON_COMMAND(ID_EDIT_COPY, OnEditCopy) void CXView::OnEditCopy() { CWnd* pWnd = GetFocus(); if ( pWnd != NULL ) pWnd -> SendMessage(WM_COPY); }

The simplest way would be to create the dialogs modeless and not visible, and then get the size of their window. You can then destroy them and recreate them within your splitter, knowing the size. Software Zen: delete this;

Thanks that might be a good suggestion - I looked for an algorithm. Else I will try to handle it this way. Thanks for your interest Jørgen Granborg

Thanks a lot this must be the solution. Jørgen Granborg DK

Well, since Beta 2 has been released I can let you know some stuff. Since I do not know everything that has changed I will just give you an overview. 1. Message routing/mapping has been changed. So, odds are if you do anything more than intercept WM_COMMAND messages it will probably break your code. Why they changed how the messaging system works is beyond me! 2. Some of the structures used within MFC have been changed. Some have had their members removed, other have had members added, and some even do not even exist anymore. So if you use any of these you will probably have a problem. I do not have a complete list yet, but I know there are a few. 3. If you use any of the "MFC internals", your code will probably need some recoding. So, if your program only uses the most common/basic MFC classes/functionality it will mostlikely work. Otherwise you are in for some code changes. For example ... about 35% of the classes in Ultimate Toolbox will require minor to major rewriting. However Ultimate Grid works perfectly with no changes. Hope this helps

I agree to some extent about ISO 9000, but we have an audit upcoming from the FDA where quality is 100% important. I am responsible for *all* bugs in my company's products. The only thing I can offer is to have my team fix them as soon as they are reported once we can reproduce them. The only way to engineer software to be 99.999% fault free is to follow military guidelines, but would you pay the prices these guys pay? Old Simon HB9DRV

Carlos If you fix bugs in my software I'll give £Millions of Pounds ;)

If you post this on the lounge, I think you'll get a prompt reply from David Cunningham. :) Regards, Wanderley
