This is how you would add color windows to the Starter demo program...

#include <CColorWindow.h>
[...]
void CStarterDoc::BuildWindow (Handle data)

{
	CColorWindow *win;
[...]	
	win = 	new(CColorWindow);
	win->IColorWindow(WINDStarter, FALSE, gDesktop, this);
	itsWindow = win;
[...]
}


That's it!  CColorWindow is a descendant of CWindow which is defined
in the More Classes folder.  Although the itsWindow field of the
CDocument class is defined to be a CWindow*, you can assign a CColorWindow* 
to it with no hassle.
