I hope you get some more answers than this one,
cause I believe there should be more ways of doing
this. Also, there is more details that may have to
be considered (like sharing menus and so on).
First you must create a CFormView derived class for
each dialog resource.
Then register all these classes in your app
(InitInstance), copying the code for the
AddDocTemplate stuff. You can use the same document
class for all views if you like.
I believe there is an easier way to create views,
but the following suits my needs:
POSITION pos=GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
CDocument *pDoc=NULL;
int i;
for (i=0; i<=ix; i++) Get the desired template
pDT=GetNextDocTemplate(pos);
CFrameWnd * pFrame;
pDT->InitialUpdateFrame(pFrame=pDT->CreateNewFrame(pDoc=pDT->CreateNewDocument(),
NULL), pDoc);
