MDITabWindow Sample and SplitterWnd

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

   Hi,

I'd like to have the same "drag out" functionality for MDI windows as in Visual Studio 2010.
I looked at the MDITabWindow sample to create floating/dockable MDI windows.

However, this does not work if the MDI frame has a SplitterWnd.
Method "DockFrame" destroys the old frame and creates a new one (of type CDockingFrameWnd).
All additional information in the old frame get's deleted, including the SplitterWnd member variable (which destroys it's child windows in the destructor).

I tried to connect the old view to the docking pane instead of creating a new one - without success.

Additionaly, MDITabWindow sample does not provide exactly the same "drag out" functionality as Visual Studio 2010. The dragged-out MDI windows do not have to be dockable in my case. Is it easier to solve the problem without docking panes?

Can someone help me?

Ingo.
