SPLIT sample

This sample demonstrates the following MFC 2.0 concepts:

  1) A ReplaceView() function can be created which replaces a
     view in a CSplitterWnd pane with another. The function 
     replaces a view but uses the same CDocument object. This 
     function can be helpful if a programmer wants to keep the same
     frame window and document for a splitter pane and only wants to 
     delete a view in a pane and replace it with another.
  
  2) The CDocument variable m_bAutoDelete can be used to prevent the
     destruction of a CDocument object if all views of the document 
     are destroyed.
     
  3) The CWnd::PreCreateWindow() function can be used to prevent 
     the main application from having a thick frame thus prevented 
     the user from resizing the main application window.
     
  4) By traping the WM_SETCURSOR, WM_MOUSEMOVE, and WM_LBUTTONDOWN
     messages of a CSplitterWnd, you can fix the splitter bars 
     in a splitter window so that they can't be moved by the user.
     
  5) CSplitterWnd panes can contain regular CWnd objects and are not 
     limited to the use of CViews.  This sample places a dialog in 
     the first pane.
     
  6) The undocumented CWnd::CenterWindow() can be used to position
     windows at the center of the screen.   
     
NOTE:  You must use the -d option when decompressing this sample
       with PKUNZIP.EXE.

To understand what the sample does, first execute the program.  You 
will see a main application window with a splitter window 
(CSplitterWnd) in its client area.  A selection dialog will be 
displayed in the first pane and a view will be displayed in the 
second pane.  

Click on the "View 1" and "View 2" buttons.  Notice that the view 
in the second pane will switch from one to the other.  The view is
changing but looking at the source you'll see that the document 
stays the same.

If you have comments or suggestions about how to improve this
sample, please send Microsoft a message to the MFC section of 
the MSLANG forum.
