Re: Easy one: Communication in MDI

Josh,

Both posting and sending messages should work. First of all, make sure the
message handlers are working. I would test this by, for example, posting a
message to the focused window, making sure that the view in case was
selected. Check so that the message handlers are correctly declared.

You might after this want to try SendMessageToDescendants, recursing all
children. Make sure that the messages you are using are not used for
something else! I would use RegisterWindowsMessage for this.
