However, the piece "splitting trace window into 2 columns" does not work for some reason... this is a splitter window within splitter window. When I do not use CSplitterWndEx which is derived from CXTSplitterWnd, then everything works as it should, but I partially lose the style/theme that is provided by CXTSplitterWnd...

 

Anybody knows what's wrong with CXTSplitterWnd ?

 

The layout created by this code is:

 

 

the red split is where the problem occurs - it shows just one pane instead of 2.
