Given the above details, it's not easy to understand which part of this application you are having difficulty with. Take a look at the samples here[^] on MSDN and see if some of them may help you.

Actually i want that when i click a Menu entry of the Main Window then another Window get displayed.This is My Main Problem .

Richard MacCutchan 19-Jul-11 17:27pm

OK, well you need to capture the relevant command from your menu and then create the new window and show it.
Which part of this do you need help with? If you mean all of it then you need to go to the link I provided above and use the samples to understand how MDI applications are constructed.

Yes you get it , when i click the menu entry how i able to create the window fo my own desir and open it by clicking it . Thats the thing in which i get stuck. Please help me.

I Want to put my own functionality on the window , this window is not like when i click on New Menu entry then the new window will open but this is window which is blank which is the copy of the same Main Window , Actually i want that window which have my own functionality on it Thanks. Please give some tutorial on it or any helping material . Thanks Again .

I don't understand what your problem is. you have an MDI application so you must know how to open or create a new window. Just add the command handler for your menu command and create the new window as required. I already gave you a link to the MSDN tutorials on the subject; if you do not know how to use MFC then that would be the best place to start. You can also look at the Articles here on CodeProject, where you will find lots of useful samples.

Sir actually i want to open a dialog/window when the i click on button.
For example i you use the VC++ 6.0 compiler when i click on the new then the another dialog /window will open . similary i want some thing like this..

ahsan45 20-Jul-11 7:38am

In other words What function will i require to create the Window. Some one has told me to use the showWindow Function . Please tell me is that right to use this function to create the Window on clickinig the menue entry.if not then please do reply me function which is used to create the Window.

Richard MacCutchan 20-Jul-11 8:15am

So now you have changed from "when i click on New Menu entry then the new window will open", to "i want to open a dialog/window when the i click on button"; you obviously have some learning to do.
Go and look at some of the tutorials I have pointed out to you. You are never going to figure this out function by function in this way. You need to understand the complete structure of a windows application and the only way to do that is to work through some tutorials for yourself.
