Opinion on Easiest Way

[Rich S.]

Hello,

On the web I have seen a few different ways to implement multiple views for
a single document. One solution I saw was to use a custom MultiDocTemplate
class.

My program will have only one document open at a time, but needs to present
the information in several different ways, using very different views.

What do people in the group believe is the best technique to implement such
a design with MFC ?

The easiest way is an SDI app with splitter windows. MSDN has several
examples, including "swsplit" which is very flexible. I also like the
splitter approach because with the MDI approach I find that many users
lose views behind other views.

In addition to Scott's reply, take a look at example CHKBOOK, which should
be exactly what you want.

Thank you both very much for your input. It is very much appreciated.

If you don't need to see all the views at once you could do something with
tabs:
