I want to design a student registration and exam recording app using C++ MFC with a kind of child window containing buttons edits and other common controls which is displayed on the app client area, and can be removed and replaced with another one by clicking a button. Thats the problem i face now( The GUI ). I came from JAVA background where this can be done by creating a JPanel as a container for the buttons, combo boxes and text fields controls. the panel is displayed on the client area and can be removed and replaced with another panel containing a new set of controls. I tried learning CView but it keeps talking about documents and views that displays untitled document as in word processing. Any pointer will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think what you're after is a CFormView in MFC but in 10 years I could have completely forgotten. It will talk about Documents because MFC uses a Document/View architecture, a sort of broken version of Model/View/Controller where the Model is called a Document and most of the Controller is combined into the View. Anyway I think you're on the right track with CView you just need to find the right sub class which lets you use a Dialog Template to put those buttons and combo boxes onto the View. I hope it turns out well.

Matthew is correct, you should look into the CFormView Class[^].
