Why are you using WS_CHILD as opposed to WS_POPUP?

I went through several books, and read several posted messages, nont of them helped to get solution for this.

If you know better and simple way to do it, what I need for my project is creating mfc mdi project and attach either child dialg window or child formview. That is all what i need.

Can help on this?

So if you have already created the MDI application and derived the view from CFormView, what is the problem?

The form name is IDD_FORMVIEW

What do you mean by this? Classes are not called, they are created or instantiated. Functions and methods are called.

What is it that you are wanting to do?

Sorry, I mean creating.

First of all I added my mdi project a child formview named IDD_FORMVIEW attached to class name as CMyFormView driven from CFormView.

Now I want to display it. how can I display this form?

It's displayed automaticaly when the application is started, unless you have specifically added code to not create the child frames. Have you added any controls to the IDD_FORMVIEW template?

Thanks for your helping,

First of all when I set my first form, it starts automatcly that I included some basic info, I donthave problem with that, my problem is when I add additional forms to communicatate my databases.

IDD_FORMVIEW is the default name, for my test project not the template.

Best regards

Forms should not be communicating with the database. The contents of the database should be stored in the document, which in turn, is displayed by the view. For example, the document could store several different CRecordset-derived objects. When the document is updated, it simply calls UpdateAllViews(), letting each view know that new information in the document needs to be displayed. Each of the views would be in charge of communicating with the document about what it is that needs to be displayed. Make sense?

Thanks again,

So you mean there is no way that VC++ 6 can display form or dialog as a child.

If that is the case I have to back to my visual basic which more flexible in this matter.

Thanks a lot again.

My best wishes

So does that imply that you know what the answer is since you claim it is not difficult? Asking the right question goes a long way towards receiving the right answer.

Ok, so what part of this is troubling you? Why do you keep mentioning a "dialog?" What you want is one CMDIFrameWnd window that contains four CMDIChildWnd windows. By default, you get one of each. Knowing how the framework creates the initial one should aid you in creating the other three. You'll need to create three more instances of CMultiDocTemplate and call AddDocTemplate(). See here for more.

You can get more information about the error by checking status information returned in IoStatusBlock.

for enable or disable Scrollbar use
EnableScrollBar( SB_BOTH,ESB_DISABLE_BOTH);
and I think for show or hide use
ShowScrollBar(SB_BOTH,FALSE);

and you have splitter or you want to create splitter
