Hm. That sounds like a good way to do it. Actually, I wanted a
menubar as well, but I'm using a CPropertySheet, and it seems resistant to
change. I finally figured out a way to embed a CPropertySheet inside a
standard dialog window & disable _all_ the default buttons. That way, i
put the menubar on those :)
For those in the know, should I use a document-view SDI setup and
embed the prop sheet in that, or just stick to a dialog-based thing?

Okay, a realistic timeline, based on what I've seen sofar for me.
8-29 (today): get GUI working.
8-31 : finish GUI working.
9-3 : rewrite GUI from scratch.
9-8 : rewrite GUI from scratch.
9-10 : write up internal structures & start dataload
9-11 : finish dataload
9-13 : rewrite GUI from scratch.
9-15 : post up and pray for mercy. :)
Ie, Gimme about 3 weeks at most, and I should have something
usable. Girlfriends take more time than you'd imagine. My unrealistic
goal is something by this weekend.
