// Insert the status bar and control bar into the frame
frame->Insert(*sb, TDecoratedFrame::Bottom);
frame->Insert(*cb, TDecoratedFrame::Top);
Once you’ e inserted the decorations into the frame, the last thingv
you have to do is set the main window to frame and set up the menu:
// Set the main window and its menu
SetMainWindow(frame);
GetMainWindow()->AssignMenu("COMMANDS");

Step 11: Moving to the Doc/View model
Step 11 introduces the Doc/View model of programming, which is
based on the principle of separating data from the interface for that
data. Essentially the data is encapsulated in a document object, which,
is derived from the TDocument class, and displayed on the screen and
manipulated by the user through a view object, which is derived from
the TView class.

with that data in a different way.
For Step 11, however you’ll simply convert the application from its,
current model to the Doc/View model. The code from Step 11 will
look very different from the code from Step 10, but the running
application for Step 11 will look nearly identical to the application for
Step 10.
