TEMPLATE

mainWindow = Window * DoMakeWindows()

SPECIFIERS

public abstract virtual

DESCRIPTION

DoMakeWindows must create the main window of the document. It is called by the method OpenWindows when the document is opened.
DoMakeWindows creates the window layout as well as one or more views which will display the document's data. The window's and the view's next event handler are set to this. A typical implementation looks like this:

Window *MyDocument::DoMakeWindows()
{
    // create a view with "this" as next event handler
    View *myView = new MyView(this, /* document's data */);

    // window's next handler is also "this"
    return new Window(this, Point(300), eWinDefault,
                        new Scroller(myView));
}

Method is always overridden.
