Let one pane act as a view?

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

   In SDI applications you derive one window from CWnd and always let it have a crack at the command in OnCmdMsg.
What's the proper way of assigning one pane to act as an active view? That is, one pane should be "in charge" of the other panes.

It's just a matter of design. In a defined pane layout, I want certain commands to be available when one of several panes is active. Your samples only show how to let the active pane have a crack at the command.

Is this the right approach?

CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(...)
{
    if (m_paneMyView.OnCmdMsg(...))
        return TRUE;

    CWnd *pWnd = m_paneManager.GetActiveWindowPane();
    if (pWnd && pWnd != &m_paneMyView)
    {
        if (pWnd->OnCmdMsg(...);
            return TRUE;
    }
}

I'm not sure how to handle the active view since I do not use the Doc/View architecture. I suppose I could store an "active pane"-pointer for this purpose.

What do you think?
