Other than private email, what is the most appropriate forum for
such discussion?  Perhaps gmane.comp.lib.boost.user, or is that
bad because win32gui is not official Boost yet?

For example of what I am thinking of:
I tried out your "Multiple frames" example and after selecting
SDI mode I find that the main window is created blank instead of
containing the sample dialog it is supposed to have.  In order
to try to figure out why, I added the commented line to the code
below in main.cpp, and with that line uncommented everything
works properly.  Why?

    else
        new_view = create_dlg<sample_view>(view_name, window());

    view_frame *self = dynamic_cast<view_frame *>(window());
 // msg_box(window(), "Continue!");    
    self->activate(new_view);

I compiled everything with the free download command-line
version of VC 7.1, which means I am presently limited to
non-debug mode build as libcmtd.lib is not supplied with that.
