Thanks Tom,
    I am facing one more problem in this application. I have one
function IfVideoOpen(). Function definition is
HVIDEO IFVideoOpen(HWND hParent, RECT rect)
{
    CSGIronApp *app;
    HINSTANCE inst;
    HVIDEO hVideo;
    HVIDEO (FAR PASCAL *lpfnOpenVideo)(HWND, RECT);

    app = (CSGIronApp *)AfxGetApp();
    inst = app->GetLibInstance();
    if(!inst)
        return NULL;

        lpfnOpenVideo = (HVIDEO (FAR PASCAL *)(HWND,
RECT))::GetProcAddress(inst, "VideoOpen");

    if(!lpfnOpenVideo)
        return NULL;

    hVideo = (*lpfnOpenVideo)(hParent, rect);
    return hVideo;
}

This function I am calling in view.cpp.But it is giving Debug error
called Abort,rertry and ignore after line hVideo =
(*lpfnOpenVideo)(hParent, rect);
I am not getting why it is giving this error?

Where is says something like:

m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

in InitInstance()... change SW_SHOW to SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED to make the
mainframe full size (the applicaiton). Put something like:

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    cs.style = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_CAPTION
    | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZE
    | FWS_ADDTOTITLE | WS_THICKFRAME;

    if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs))//,nIcon) )
        return FALSE;
     return TRUE;
}

Note the style WS_MAXIMIZE in the list. This will maximize new child
windows in the mainframe. Of course, the user can make them smaller or
icons in themain window if they like, but I think it's nice to let them do
that if you intend for it to loook like and MDI application.

hello,
I am converting one application from SDI to MDI.I want the child
window should be opened in maximize state when I execute the
application. When I click on restore down button then window should
look small.
  Waiting for your favourable response.
    Thanking you.
