    Not Quite A Toolbar

    What I am trying to do is have a static bar going down the side of an MDI app with a tree view of a list of files in it (kind of like the project bar in msvc). Does anyone know the best way of going about this as i really have no idea.

    I only know one way, so maybe it's not the best

    Use a splitter to split your MDI child in two. The easy way would be placing a CTreeView in the left side, but if you want more than just one tree, you should take a CFormView derived class and put your elements on there.

    I found nice splitter projects on www.codeguru.com.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    I have a treeview down the left of my MDI.
    I just created a child wondow for it (and the listbox below it) then created the treeview as a child ctrl. Make it 100% of the client and remove the systembar / edge (frame) styles from the child window.

    The rest of the screen is another child on which the data selected is displayed.

    create a resource and derive the class from CControlBar
    then create it the CMainFrame as you would any other tool bar
