I agree that you should give a CFormView a try. You can change the view
type in the wizard while creating the project. This will make it easy to do
what you're trying to do here.

Once you create a CFormView based project you will have a dialog resource to
which to add controls, just like any other dialog.

You could create a dialog application as well (since you mention SDI), but I
usually don't do those since it's too much trouble to grow out of that kind
of application when the needs change.

I am looking for a basic SDI example using Document/View model where the
View class contains more than one control. I am using the Prosise book,
but the examples in that book (for example the SdiSquares sample) draw
directly to the view's client area without using controls. I am looking
for a sample where I can have a button and an edit control, for example,
placed together on the View client area.

As a beginner, I am also confused on how the the dialog editor integrates
with the Document/View framework. Specifically, how can I use the dialog
editor to place dialogs directly on the View's client area? That is, I am
not interested in creating a dialog, but would like to be able to use the
toolbox to place controls directly on the primary UI of the application.

Many thanks in advance for taking the time to answer -
