Thank you Mark.

I tried with CreateView but I still can't get my window visible. According
to MSDN, "After calling CreateView, you must manually set the view to
active and set it to be visible". I think that to make it visible we must
use ShowWindow(SW_NORMAL) or other style. But how can I make my window
active? Obviously it isn't with SetActiveView because I don't have a CView
derived window.

Do you know what's missing here?

Thank you,

Pedro

Typically I add whe WS_VISIBLE style in a PreCreateWindow() override (in the
CMyClientWnd class)..

As an alternative, you should be able to call

pMyClientWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

right after you call CreateView().

If you use CFrameWnd::CreateView() to create your non-CView-derived

the client window for you...

BOOL CMyFrameWnd::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext*
pContext)
{
  // CMyClientWnd should use DECLARE_DYNCREATE/IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE

  CCreateContext Context;
  Context.m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyClientWnd);

  CMyClientWnd *pMyClientWnd = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMyClientWnd,
CreateView(&Context));
