Re: WIN32: Multiple Windows without MDI

Thanks Aaron,

Yes, the logic is the same. What's your suggestion for handling shared
resources? I.e. I add a BookMark in one instance. How can I tell the other
instances (if there's a way to know 'who' they are...) to update their
menus? Is that what DDE is for?

TIA,
Juergen
