I believe this is possible - I may even have done it - I don't remember. The easiest way is to avoid MFC serializaton altogehter by implementing your own FileSave, etc functions.

Has anyone tried to integrate boost serialization with MFC Doc/View CArchive serialization? I would be interested to hear how you did it. Can a CArchive be turned into a istream or ostream that could be used? thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
