I've done a couple business apps that use multiple windows.  Attached is =
the main window program that includes all the other sub-programs (I won't =
attach them for file-size reasons, but if you need them, email me directly =
and I'll see what I can do).  Pay special attention to the "openWindow" =
commands.  Hopefully, this will be a good example for you to see how to =
lay out a multiple Window program. =20

Hi all,

I am having fun with Win32lib 0.45. My previous experience with Windows
programming was limited to some time spent in janitorial mode with a large
VB app a couple of years ago. But enough about the events leading up to my
breakdown.

The docs say, "The main window is set to <i>window</i>. When <i>window</i>
is closed, the application is shut down."

That seems pretty limiting. Suppose I want to (and I think I do) create a
multiple-window application. Sounds like I can't do it, using this version
of Win32lib. Am I correct, or is there a way to overcome that limitation?

I am trying to rapidly develop a prototype here. I'm willing to *eventually=
*
learn as much detail of Windows programming as I need to get the job done,
but would like to do things easily and quickly in the short term.

A probably-acceptable alternative to multiple windows would be to use the
Tab control. If I have to go that route to use Win32lib, fine, but I think
that approach would be my second choice, vs. multiple windows.
