In a program where it might be practical to minimize and restore various dialogs (good?), I'm finding it hard to understand the hierarchy (child/parent) and overall app model.
I've started an SDI project, and quickly noticed I could not use the file menu to call my dialog. This dialog is essentially a form which aims (for now) to write a CObject to a file. Added another menu, my dialog does work. When trying to make it do what I wanted, nothing but odd issues like docking inside the SDI window without access to the controls.
It's going to be a database essentially, and schedule generator. For example if volunteer X cannot work their usual schedule on a certain week, their name cannot be selected while generating the printable schedule for that week.I think tabs are less preferable than multiple synchronized dialogs.
Not sure what exactly a document window is... or if I need MDI?
I'm looking for an empty window where multiple dialogs can co-exist, side by side, or minimized and restored in order to access different functions and views as appropriate.
Any advice on setting this up properly?
