I’m trying to learn me some Visual C++ 6.0 (SP4, Win2K), and have purchased the book “Practical Visual C++ 6” The examples so far are all MFC wizard dialog-based apps, accepting all of the defaults. During the course of the excersises, I notice some odd behavior: When I try to “Add a Member Function” to a button in the resource editor, the dialog class “CxxDlg”, which is the main class for the project, disapears from the classview pane.

A search of Microsofts knowledge base did not reveal anything, and a search of microsoft.public.vc.ide\_general only revealed [the same question from 19 Feb](http://groups.google.com/groups?q=classview&hl=en&group=microsoft.public.vc.ide_general&rnum=5&selm=udQ0clqmAHA.1380%40tkmsftngp02)

Any idea what’s going on, and if there’s a fix? Thanks.
