Bottom line for me is that I've written dozens and dozens of MFC
applications and I've never had an issue where it would cause problems to
have the document class display a dialog related strictly to data being
stored in the document class. Any design can be nit-picked enough. In
practical terms it really makes no difference.

About the only specific issue Joseph has even given is the issue of who owns
the window. Of course, a simple call to AfxGetMainWnd() resolves that in
short order.

I defy anyone to show how, in your typical application, this would cause any
problem.

But only the View should have access to the ColourPicker dialog:

That's the gist of the debate. I think most of us here think that is the
case. But it doesn't follow what MS did with making the
CDocument::OnFileSave() and CDocument::OnFileOpen() showing the
OpenFilename dialog.
