In one of our applications I've used some of the MFC classes to allow docking a sidebar window, approximately like so: CDialogBar* bar = new CDialogBar; bar->Create(this, IDD, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_RIGHT | CBRS_TOOLTIPS, IDD)); bar->EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT | CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT); DockControlBar(b...
I'm building a project with MFC Feature Pack. Is this project I have a window which includes a CView, which includes a CListCtrl-derived object. The object includes the LVS_EDITLABELS flag.

Trying to upgrade an MFC app to use the new MFC feature pack, we are loosing the messages from a context menu. The menu appears and can be clicked, but the message seems not to be handled anywhere. We overrode OnCmdMsg() in lots of places but to no avail, the context menu's command message are not caught. Is there a way, tool, or approa...
I have a CMFCToolBar-derived class and an insance thereof is the member of a CDockablePane-derived class. I looked at the VisualStudioDemo sample to see how it's done and have this so far: int CMyPane::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { // Removed all "return -1 on error" code for better readability CDockablePane::OnCre...
Is there an easy way to remove the close button from an MFC feature pack caption bar? (I don't mean the window caption, I'm talking about the little information bar that can appear at the top of the client area in these apps - ie:CMFCCaptionBar) Thanks ...
My CMDIFrameWndEx derived main frame window uses a CMFCRibbonStatusBar to which I add a CMFCRibbonLabel. I'd like to change the text of this label at runtime: m_pLabel->SetText(description); m_pLabel->Redraw(); It only updates the text but not the rectangle in which to draw it. So if the original text was too short, the new string won...
This question is related to this one. In a CDockablePane derived class I have a CTreeCtrl member for which I add a ToolTip in OnCreate(): int CMyPane::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CDockablePane::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; const DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | W...

By using the wizard, and selecting Office 2007 style, you can come up with a UI that looks like an IDE - a dockable file explorer pane on the left, and a dockable properties pane on the right. However, when you close these dockable panes, there's no way you can show them again. Even if you recompile the project. I searched through so...

If you create a new MFC application (with MFC Feature Pack), and using all the defaults, click Finish. It creates an MDI application with the new "Tabbed Documents" style. I think these are great except it really annoys me that I can't close a Tabbed Document window by middle-clicking on the tab. This is possible in Firefox, IE, Chro...

Sometimes it's OK after resizing the window but most of the time the panel is in a collapsed state.
