- If this is the ONLY way to keep a floating window open while using
- another part, then where do I get a chance to create the floating window
- for the part's main presentation and frame?
-
- My part is already embedded, and I want its main frame and presentation
- to belong in a floating window.
-
- Below are two places I tried:
-
- 1) "View in Window" - My part does not receive this menu event, only from
- my own menus. If I can get this event from my part, I might call "new
- FW_CFloatingWindow()"
-
- 2) CPart::MakeDocumentWindow() - only works if you open a part's
- stationery or wish to open the part in a new document window.
-
- Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
