Dock CXTPToolBar at bottom of CMDIChildWn

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

   Scenario: MDI application, want to dock toolbar at bottom of child window. CChildFrame is derived from CMDIChildWnd, and m_wndToolBar is a CXTPToolBar.
Code below results in toolbar docked at top - anyone with any ideas as to why? I even threw in a call to RepositionBars() for good measure.

int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{

if (CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
    return -1;

EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM);
m_wndToolBar.SetFlags(xtpFlagStretched | xtpFlagAlignBottom);
VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar(WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS|CBR S_ALIGN_BOTTOM|CBRS_BOTTOM, this, AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR));
VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME, TRUE));

m_wndToolBar.SetPosition(xtpBarBottom);
m_wndToolBar.SetVisible(TRUE);
RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);

return 0;
}

	Are you looking to have one toolbar that is docked at the bottom of the main MDI form that will be under the child window? Or do you want a separate toolbar for each child window that is docked to the bottom of each window?

	One separate toolbar per child window, docked and fixed (no grab handle, customisation, etc.). I have several doc views, and the view loaded into the child window will set the toolbar's configuration (i.e. selects which toolbar resource is loaded).

	Came up with another approach which gives better results, but not quite right yet... int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = CXTPCommandBars::CreateCommandBars(); pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bSyncFloa tingBars = TRUE; pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bDblClick Float = FALSE; pCommandBars->SetSite(this); pCommandBars->EnableDocking(); // Create ToolBar CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = (CXTPToolBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("EditorTools"), xtpBarBottom); if (!pToolBar \|\| !pToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_CHILDFRAME)) { TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n"); return -1; } pToolBar->ModifyStyle(CBRS_GRIPPER, 0); pToolBar->SetFlags(xtpFlagStretched); return 0; } The toolbar is now a proper child of the MDIChildWnd and is docked bottom, but hiding the gripper and customise toolbar button is proving to be problematic. The call to pToolBar->ModifyStyle(CBRS_GRIPPER, 0) has no effect.
