Hello, I read in the documentation that it's normal to embed a splitter
window in the frame window, and I'm doing just that. My splitter takes
up the entire client area of the frame and I don't use the frame view
for anything. I tried pass NULL for it when creating the doc template
and that seems to work just fine, but MSVC++ warns that it's a creating
a frame with no default view. I guess I could leave the unused frame in
my program to silence that warning but I just wanted to make sure I'm
embedding it in the proper class (i.e., in the frame window itself, not
its view). This is practically my first docview program. It's a simple
one that will be used to visualize something but I wanted to make sure I
don't make any weird design choices.

With a splitter, it is normal to use NULL for the view passed to the
document template, and then let the splitter create your two views in
CMainFrame::OnCreateClient. Sounds like you're doing it right.
