- I am toying with developing an application in MS Visual C++. I am
- beginning to get the hang of the coding part but do not have design
- experience in OOP applications. My question is - In an application
- with many different modules such as inventory, sales order processing,
- client master database..... Is it better to write multiple
- applications and somehow call them from a common menu system or is
- it better design to write a huge program with many classes. If I
- should develop multiple applications what is the best way to execute
- them from a common menu. I would like the users to be able to be
- in the middle of one application like client master maintenance and
- allow them to branch to another application such as sales order entry
- or mail or some other app. how do I do this.
-
- Please respond with answers in theory as opposed to actual code etc.
- if there are specific functions or MSFC classes to look at please
- advise.
-
- Thank you in advance for your response.
