Thread: *VERY* basic MDI question

I thought I got this in class, but apparently not.

My mission, with no choice but to accept it:

Create a multiple document program with 8 dialogs/new windows to demonstrate all the wonderful coding stuff we've learned this semester.

I'm having no problem with those, it's getting the menu selection to pop up the window. When I click on menu on the main window, the drop down selections are grayed out.

So far, I've done it this way: Insert->resource->dialog then clicked new. Create the dialog window, then go to the class wizard, entered the CNameOfIt to create the class. Program comes up just fine, except that I can't get to any of the dialogs because of the menu problem. I'm feeling like quite a bit of a dork here, and I know I'm missing some simple step.

Thanks for your patience..hopefully this isn't too confusing to answer.

Actually, I figured it out within about five minutes of posting. Seems like the minute you think you've reached the end of your rope, you get another idea.

I wish I knew my terminology a little better..What I meant was when you run the program, click menu from the toolbar, the drop down list items were grayed out. I knew I was forgetting something simple..I didn't right click on them, go to class wizard, and add in:
{
CLibraryfunctions dlg;
dlg.DoModal();
}

It was most likely confusing because it's so darned basic it's unbelievable a person wouldn't know that.

Thanks for taking time to reply! I'm sure I'll be back with more confusing stuff.
