Interesting scrolling bug

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

   Hi, 

I have an MDI-application with a splitter with two columns: one custom CView and one CXTPSyntaxEditView.

CMainFrame -> CXTPTabClientWnd -> CMyMDIFrame
     -> CXTSplitterWnd -> (CMyView + CXTPSyntaxEditView)

The CXTPSyntaxEditCtrl is responsible for the scrollbar bug shown below! Upon creation, the edit control adds scrollbars on BOTH the views. Calling pEditView->GetEditCtrl().SetCreateScrollbarOnParent(FALSE) removes the extra scrollbars on MY own custom view, but the syntax edit view is not affected. What the?!

Double scrollbars when using a splitter.

Sure seems like CXTPSyntaxEditCtrl does not care what the view looks like. Any suggestions? Thanks!

	Calling GetEditCtrl().SetCreateScrollbarOnParent(FALSE) in the constructor of the view solves the problem. However, I do not like it. This "scrollbar on parent" thing seems strange. If enabled, any view in a parent splitter gets scrollbars!

	The CXTPSyntaxEditCtrl may be used in 2 modes: 1. As a 'standalone' control with own scrollbars (on CVew, CDialog based parent window); 2. As a main control for CVew based parent class. For the second case CXTPSyntaxEditCtrl shoud use scroll bars from the parent. SetCreateScrollbarOnParent used to define which scrollbars will be used.
