QUESTION:
I created a new view and an error box popped up telling "Cannot locate insertion point. Unable to add component". What does this mean and how do I get around it?
ANSWER:
The error you are seeing means that the Studio is not able to find a client area object in the MDI main panel object. Perhaps it cannot even find the MDI main panel object. You can only create views for MDI styled programs. MDI Style applications have a Panel and a ClientArea object. Both the clientarea and the panel object classes may be subclassed.
When your program structure is as follows:
Object oMain is A Panel
Object oClientArea Is A ClientArea
End_Object
End_Object
The Studio can add components.
When the program structure is as follows:
Object oMain is A Panel
End_Object
The Studio CANNOT add components.
