Separate Classes for Windows

[Atomic_Sheep]

Hi guys, just wondering when one should create a unique class for every window and when to use one class and create different instances of it? Quite a generic question but I don't have a more intelligent question to ask at this stage as my knowledge is too limited so all general advice welcome.

If you have ten classes that do almost the same things then you should merge them into a common hierarchy -- have a base class containing functionality common to all the classes and derive from that base class if you need some added or modified functionality.

Thanks, I understand now.
