Splitter in view not working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We use XTP in our application (recent edition).
This is an MDI application based on VC++ 6.0 (with latest SP).
We added a vertical splitter inside a view of one of the child windows. The splitter inherits from CXTSplitterWnd. It is defined in the child's frame (in OnCreateClient).
In some machines we have a problem with the behavior of the splitter. It either doesn't show or it does but then when the user drags it all the way back (to close it) then it cannot be re-opened again. You can see the mouse change when it hovers over it but once you drag it then the mouse changes back to normal.
All machines that we use are Win2K.
Any help is appreciated,
Irit.

	I have noticed the same problem. Sometimes when I click to drag open the splitter window, it doesn't move. The issue only seems to happen sporadically, and I've been unable to recreate it on a regular basis. But when it does happen, my C++ output window gets filled with "Warning: split too small to fit in a new pane" messages.

	I also witnessed this behaviour when creating the splitter during the creation of the view/frame window. But I have a button that allows the user to switch to different split configurations, thus deleting the splitter window and creating a new one. After this procedure, the splitting usually works fine.. It's a real strange problem and it's there since a few versions at least...

	I did find a way to solve this by changing the style of the splitter. You need to set XT_SPLIT_NOFULLDRAG. Irit.
