class CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd
{
public:
    CMainFrame ();

};

CMainFrame::CMainFrame()
{
    // Create the window's frame
Create(NULL,"WindowsApplication",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                       CRect(120, 100, 700, 480), NULL);
}

class CExerciseApp: public CWinApp
{
public:
    BOOL InitInstance();
};

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)

END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CExerciseApp::InitInstance()
{
    m_pMainWnd = new CMainFrame ;
    m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
    m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
