When calling EnableFrameTheme on a MDI child frame window declared as:

class CMyWindow : public CMDIChildWnd, CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook

causes the cursor to hand on the borders when the resize cursor appears.

The same can easily be seen in the CommandBarControls sample.

Yes, that was also what I found out.

This must be fixed. I abandoned all the fancy theming ect. for my next version because of this.

Hello cpede,

This feature has been intentionally introduced in order to make resizing of windows with thin borders easy. But taking into account some reported inconveniences we are thinking about making it optional and easy to enable/disable at any time.
You can help improving quality of the release versions by evaluating changes and new additions in the beta versions.

Thank you.
Regards,
  Alexander Stoyan

Thanks for the answer.

Ok, it seemed that you went the wrong path. You may NEVER interrupt the movement of the mouse by clamping it to some border or frame. This is so annoying that I cannot run my app. -  even in debug mode with this feature. In that case you should widen the area where the resize cursor is displayed.

I'm running v16.4.0 and not aware of any beta versions?

Jeeez..., can you please be so kind and stay as close as possible to MS standard behavior? Such gimmicks are pretty annoying, cause this isn't standard behavior at all.
Optional is okay, as long as it is disabled by default. And btw, tried it with a thin frame but IMHO it doesn't augment resizing very much.

I agree with all previous posts. This "feature" has at least to be optional. The new behaviour is annoying and makes makes 16.4.0 not production usable.

Is there any new information about that? Is CodeJock going to make any changes?

Hello,

Mouse locking has been made optional and disabled by default in the next release of 17.0 beta. In order to enable mouse locking CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::m_bAllowBorderMouseTracking will have to be set to TRUE. Please stay tuned to our updates and once 17.0 beta is out we appreciate a thorough testing and reporting the problems.

Thank you.
Regards,
