Showing formview

I created my very first application with Visual C++ 1.51 
using AppWizard. Then I used AppStudio to make a formview
and associated it with my document and frame-window 
classes using a document template in CMyApp::InitInstance.
Everything worked fine.
But then I noticed that I don't need the document class at all.
I removed document initialization code and added followind code
into InitInstance to create and show framewindow:

	m_pMainWnd = new CMainFrame;
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); 

My CMainFrame constructor looks like this:

CMainFrame::CMainFrame()
{
	// TODO: add member initialization code here  
	Create(NULL, "Installer v0.01!", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 
               rectDefault, NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAINFRAME));
}
 
It works fine, but now I don't know how to show my formview, which I have 
created in AppStudio. This shouldn't be too hard, 
should it? I don't have any MFC books (just Microsoft
online books and there is only info about how to create and use 
formviews with document classes).
Any help appreciated.

It sounds as if what you need is simply a dialog-based application.
The VC 1.5 AppWizard can't generate them, but it's quite simple:

Just rip out all the document/view/mainframe stuff from
CMyApp::InitInstance and add a

CMyDialog dlg;
dlg. DoModal();
return FALSE; // Exits the program.

Of course if you need menus and stuff, it'll be a bit more work.

It is illustrated in the tracer sample.

I think you should use AddDocTamplate including a CDocument derived class.
The last parameter you use is your derivd CFormView class. You should buy
Microsoft Press's "Inside Visual c++ version 1.5" (or look for help in the
"help" section at the visual workbranch) for more help.
