Need to add anchoring/docking to legacy MFC dialog application?

Actually a very common question and your reasoning is sound, but rather than reinventing the wheel, it might be better to first look at some freely available implementations along the lines you describe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
