Child window example in Conger's book

[Alex Wu x6156]

Jim Conger's book on "MS foundataion class" was just published
last year, but it became outdated. It doesn't mentioned that
it is using MFC 1.0, rather than the widely used 2.0 version.

I tried several examples in Conger's book with VC++, all failed
except the first example. The failure included:
o cannot use strstream class will can cause link failure
o window did not show up at all, most examples are in this category

However I did not have example in "Inside VC++" book, either. What I
want to design is: in SDI, one main window which has several child
windows, each child window is derived class of CWnd. In Motif's
terminology, the main view is Form widget (container), which has several
DrawingArea widgets.

Does anyone have experiences on this?

BTW, why cannot AppStudio design the layout of main view?
