I also fail to see what it should look like when both views are active? Is
one overlapping the other? Do you want them tiled? Do you want each to
take up half of the screen?

Have you looked at splitters.

The look like this:

I have an MDI Document/View App which (simplified) has 1 MyDocument class
and
2 view classes. MyScrollView (derived from CScrollView) and MyFormView
(derived from CFormView. Usually MyScrollView will be Maximized and
occasionally MyFormView will be activated.

MyFormFrame (from CMDIChildWnd) is used to contain MyFormView and
overrides
PreCreateWindow to remove WS_MAXIMIZEBOX from the window style.
MyFormFrame
also implements OnCreate and OnGetMinMaxInfo in order to restrict the
MyFormFrame to the exact fit for the MyFormView dialog resource.

With these preconditions (MyScrollView maximized and MyFormView maximize
box
disabled), when MyFormView is activated, MyScrollView is restored to its
original non-maximized state (this is unwanted behaviour).

If I don't remove WS_MAXIMIZEBOX (from MyFormFrame) then MyFormView is
activated with no caption at the top left of the MDICLIENT (and thus can't
be
draged).

Does anyone know if/how I can acheive the desired behaviour (MyFormView
activated with caption on top of maximized MyScrollView)?

Many thanks,
John
