Adding Outlookbar to Dialog

Hello,

Can we add a OutLookBar to the Dialog Box? If so how can we add outlookbar to the Left or right side of the DialogBox?

thanks

Hi;

Try this:
In your  CDialog derived class create a member of type outlookbar. In your dialog resource create a static control of desired size and position. Assign an unique ID (don't use IDC_STATIC) to this control (here I use IDC_MYCONTROL).
In the OnInitDialog member insert

    CRect rect;
    GetDlgItem(IDC_MYCONTROL)->GetWindowRect(&rect);
    ScreenToClient(&rect);
    GetDlgItem(IDC_MYCONTROL)->DestroyWindow();

    if (myControl_.Create(rect, this, IDC_MYCONTROL))
    {
        ...
    } else {
        ...
    }

Hope this helps...

Hi;

1. Try to implement a splitter into your dialog or try using non-floatable docking panes
2. You have to catch WM_SIZE in your dialog class and then resize the control or use CXTResizeDialog as base class of your dialog class.

Hi;

Perhaps this helps:

Another solution is to implement the splitter behaviour by yourself: Catch mouse down, mouse move and draw the visual feedback. I did this several times when a splitter control did not work.
Have to look whether I find the code

Hey

Thanks for the links and startup points ..
