I would like to have an xt caption bar as is used in the CaptionBar sample, but I'd like to have the area below the caption bar be used by the docking pane manager for general pane docking. I cannot get a splitter window (as is used in the CaptionBar sample) to hold any window that works with the docking pane manager. Any suggestions for how I might get this to work, or acheive something similar? TIA |

Dave, Have you tried creating the panes within one of the split window panes? For example, starting with the Outlook sample application, create docking panes in the preview pane. BTW, we used this method to achieve, what I think you are asking for. If it is, I can give you some specific pointers:

Hi Tim Thanks for the response. Yes, that is similar to what I'm trying to acheive (and very cool-looking, BTW). I think that I don't have the equivalent of your report view though. I think I have an idea how to proceed now. The key point I was missing was that I thought I *had* to call InstallDockingPanes passing in the main frame of the application. I can instead create a class like CPreviewPane in the PaneOptions sample that is derived from CFrameWnd, put that in a splitter, and call InstallDockingpanes() passing in that window. Thanks for the tips!
