Docked or not? What is the position?

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

   I have an MDI child window (CXTPFrameWndBase<CMDIChildWnd>) with
a toolbar on it.  This child window also hosts a splitter window
(CXTSplitterWnd member created using CreateStatic in OnCreateClient). I
want the toolbar to be able to be docked on any side of the MDI window.
It is also possible that I will have multiple toolbars which could be
docked (or floating) anywhere.

I have overridden the OnSize method for the child window, so that I can
call "MoveWindow" on the splitter window member, so that it is resized
properly.  Unfortunately, I am having trouble determining the new
window position because of the toolbars. (Note: In all of the demo
applications (that I could see) that do something similar, there is
only one toolbar, and it is assumed that it is docked at the top.)

GetClientRect returns a rect that includes the toolbars, so now I have
to trim down that rect with toolbar rects (which also means deriving
from CXTPCommandBar to access the private m_barPosition member).

Is there an easier way to do this? Am I doing something wrong?

	Thanks. Actually as I was doing the work to use what you suggested, I noticed that I no longer need to call MoveWindow on the splitter... I don't know what changed, but everything works fine without that call now. Chris
