Hi !!

I'm trying to create a Caption Bar in the Mainframe of my MDI application. Samples show how to procede with a SDI, but not with a MDI. I'm trying to split the Mainframe but i'm getting mad... Could you please give me some help on this little problem ?

Thanks for advance...

Hi,

1. Add detrived class from CXTCaption

2. Catch

ON_MESSAGE(WM_SIZEPARENT, OnSizeParent)

and

LRESULT CMyCaption::OnSizeParent(WPARAM, LPARAM lParam)
{
AFX_SIZEPARENTPARAMS* lpLayout = (AFX_SIZEPARENTPARAMS*)lParam;

if (GetStyle() & WS_VISIBLE)
{
  // align the control bar
  CRect rect;
  rect.CopyRect(&lpLayout->rect);

CSize sizeAvail = rect.Size(); // maximum size available

CSize size(sizeAvail.cx, 20);

size.cy = min(size.cy, sizeAvail.cy);

  lpLayout->sizeTotal.cy += size.cy;
  lpLayout->sizeTotal.cx = max(lpLayout->sizeTotal.cx, size.cx);
  lpLayout->rect.top += size.cy;

rect.right = rect.left + size.cx;
rect.bottom = rect.top + size.cy;

  // only resize the window if doing layout and not just rect query
  if (lpLayout->hDWP != NULL)
   AfxRepositionWindow(lpLayout, m_hWnd, &rect);

Redraw();
}
return 0;
}

3. create caption as child of mainframe.
