Saving the file contents in a view class
I have an MDI application where each child document is divided into three panes.One pane has a treeview, another has a listview, 3rd pane has a normal CView. All the changes I make in these are stored in a single file. How do I implement serialization for these ?
If I create an application with Richedit view as the base class,then all these are handled automatically.Some concepts include
1. On Saving a new document only once a save dialog is flashed.On saving subsequently the dialog box is not flashed.But the contents are saved.
2. Similarly on opening a saved document and then subsequently saving it doesn't flash the save dialog box.But the contents are saved.
All these I could implement in my application by setting a flag. Is there any other alternative to this which could make it more efficient? Is serialization behind it ?
3.On closing the document it automatically asks whether to save it in a Rich edit application. How do I track it in an ordinary application as mine? This is the major glitch I face.Pls help.
thanx in advance

Normally when you create a view you specify a document. How do you create your views?

In my application I have many classes all derived from many View classes such as TreeView,ListView etc.Now i have understood the concept behind associating class data to the corresponding document.Thus enabling serialization.

thnx in advance.
