In a CXTMDIChildWnd based class I have a CXTToolBar placed on the left side of a window using the following code in the OnCreate method:

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

Once the window appears with the toolbar docked on the left side of the window, I would like the toolbar to be stuck there so the user cannot drag it or undock it. How do I do this?

Instead EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); try CBRS_ALIGN_TOP

I changed the code in the OnCreate procedure from:

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

Unfortunately, all it did was move the toolbar to the top of the window and it was still detachable.

Change first line also.

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

Unfortunately, I get the same results.

Now if I change the code to:

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT);

The toolbar comes up docked on the left and I cannot drag the toolbar if I grip it and do a drag. But if I grip close to the single button I have on the toolbar, then it allows me to drag the toolbar and detach it. In this case I can only reattach it to the left side of the window. Ideally, I would like to not allow any way to detach the toolbar from the left side of the window.
