Re: SDI w/multiple simultaneous views?
As Daniel pointed out, your best bet is to switch to a MDI application, and
then create new views passing in the pointer of the document that the
original view is using.
This post here should help you get started.

This is also a good read on what you can and cannot do with doc/view

I know this Q has come up before, but I haven't been able to find the
answer applicable to my situation.
I have a working SDI doc/view pgm which I want to modify so it
displays several views of the same document simultaneously. The
display should be in the form of independent windows arrangeable and
resizable, such as MDI provides for multiple documents.
When the user opens a document, all of the views will appear at once,
tiled or cascaded according to a user-set preference. The data is read-
only; the user does not change it or have the ability to save it.
Splitter windows are not appropriate, because there are more than 4
windows, and they are of greatly differing sizes.
Is there a simple way I can modify my SDI (VS6 under XP) so it behaves
as desired? Or is there a way to modify the MDI version so it only
allows a single document to be open, while automatically displaying
multiple views?
Thanks for your assistance
