Hello,

I am trying to create a docking pane with two controls separated by a splitter window (2 rows 1 column). Something like class view in Visual studio.

I created a CWnd inherited class that should serve as a container for the splitter and the 2 controls.

In CMainFrame in OnDockingPaneNotify method I create the container.

In the container window in OnCreate method I try to create the splitter and the two controls. Nothing appears in the pane when I run the app.

What am doing wrong? I am not sure if the splitter can live in a normal window (not CFrameWnd).

Is there any example I can look at? Advice?

Thanks in advance
Vaclav

Hi,

Why you can't create CFrameWnd derived class instead of CWnd for this pane ?

Hi Oleg,

I tried to use CWnd, because I was confused by the fact that the CFrameWnd based class had protected constructor and destructor.

Then I tried to change constructor and destructor to be public. Now it seems to work. The pane + controls appear correctly.

The only thing I am not sure is how to create CFrameWnd? I call

m_wndFrame = new CFrameWnd() in constructor of CMainFrame

but I get an error when I call

delete m_wndFrame in destructor of CMainFrame

Thank you
Vaclav

Hi,

Call it as

m_pFrame = (CFrameWnd*)CFrameWnd::CreateObject();

and don't call delete - CFrameWnd will be destroyed automatically.
