Hello,
I have the following design:

Mainframe Class [contains data member of MyDocWindow]
   |
    ---- MyDocWindow (base class CXTDockWindow) [contains data mem of             Myshortcutbar]
              |
               ------ MyShortCutBar( base class CXTOutBarCtrl)

Using this i am showing a outlook style bar on the left side of my app.

Now as the CXTDockWindow class is obsolete.
Can you give me any idea about how i can use that functionality without changing my design much....

I am confused about how to use CXTPDockingPane / CXTOutBarCtrl in all this thing.

Hello,

Just create CXTOutBarCtrl as child of CMainFrame and attach it to DockingPane.

See for example GUI_VisualStudio sample.

Hello Oleg,
Thanks for the reply.

I checked out the sampe from: \SAMPLES\GUI_VISUALSTUDIO

But i didn't find the CXTOutBarCtrl class being used anywhere.

In fact no project from the \SAMPLES\USERINTERFACE uses the
CXTOutBarCtrl class.

Hello,

Hello, CXTOutBarCtrl is quite obsolete control. I recommend you change it to CXTPTaskPanel (toolbox in this sample)

See Samples\TaskPanel\ToolBox to check its styles.

Hi Oleg,
Saw the sample from "TaskPanel\ToolBox"

Some query now:
My application is a MDI application. We were using the class CXTDocWindow to create a docking window on left of the application (attaching the snap along with this) which contains some shortcuts...
In that case were were not using any splitter(as the dockwindow was handling it)...

But if i decide to use the CXTPTaskPanel, then i will have to use the splitter...
which i was not needing in previous case...

As the application is MDI, i am getting trouble to use the splitter..
Can you please comment on this...

Thank you uploads/20070809_063557_app_snapshot.zip - uploads/20070809_063557_app_snapshot.zip

Hello,

You can use CXTPDockingPane + CXTPTaskPanel - so DockingPane will handle all splitters. See how GUI_VisualStudio sample. works.
