anyone? Thought I'd try killing the old frame when the new one opened to appear as if it was the same frame. Unfortunately the first frame is the main application window, so when that is closed the whole application closes - bye bye new window too. Hmmm I'm really surprised that this doesn't seem possible!

If your are specifically looking for .NET stuff (i.e. managed extensions) I have no idea. For learning visual studio and MFC I'd recommend: -Practical Visual Studio C++ 6.0, Bates & Tompkins, ISBN 0-7897-2142-2 deals with an older version of visual studio, but it's a very good introduction -Visual C++ .NET bible, Archer & Whitechapel, ISBN 0-7645-4837-9 mostly MFC related, but under the VS.Net enviroment. Bit in at the deep end compared to the book above, but written for the right version of VS Have fun! Cheers, Mark

Hello all, I have created an SDI application with multiple document templates. When I click new file I get the option of which document type to create, which is nice. However if I create a document of a different type the current document then a new frame gets opened and I end up with one frame for each document type. I was hoping to get just the one frame, and to be able to switch the document type. Any suggestions as to how I can achieve this? Cheers, Mark

Hello, I've been trying to implement an autosave method for an SDI application. There is an article about how to do this here. However, my coding isn't that great, and filling in the missing bits (i.e. where to put the snippets of code) is causing me, and the compiler, problems. At the moment I'm struggling with the AutosaveTimerChildProc bit. Where does that go? Can anyone offer some help. A example implementation would be really helpful to me. Cheers, Mark
