Okay, looks like either today or tomorrow, I'll have something out which reads a lib directory and lets you edit the rooms. Still learning MFC, and trying to stick to C++ instead of straight C. Looks like I may bail on that idea though, just to get something done. I may kill myself first, but we'll see. So, I have a few coments to make - the first is to you MFC guru's out there, and yes, really, I've looked for the answer. Okay, I decided to use a tabbed sort of form, to more easily switch between the different editor forms. It's also easier because I don't have to deal with the alternative, which would be multiple modeless documents floating around all having to sync with eachother. It's ended up looking something like this: http://www.imaxx.net/~dughi/other/cbreak/sc4.jpg As you can tell, I used the CPropertySheet object in conjunction with 4 CPropertyPages, and even managed to disable the "help" button. Of course, I really don't want the buttons there at all, which means that I don't really want to use CPropertySheet as my parent. So, what do I use? How do I make it go? :) I'm sure I'm not missing any creation flags, and I don't see any other tabbed-sheet like 'things' out there (-ex doesn't count). (for the rest of you too) Or, does that look really crappy, and it should be just a menu choice and I should load/unload the form I want on the screen at one time? I want to throw this together, and throw it out there asap, so this will be more for... well.. the future, but I'm curious now. Anyone come up with a better look/feel/useability? Also, in regards to the above comment about C vs C++, if I write parts of this up using structs where objects could potentially serve, would anyone be interested in converting to a more class oriented manner?
