Not sure what you are referring to by client windows.

MainFrame w/ Standard toolbar
|- Vertical splitter
   |- Tree view
   |- Horizontal splitter
      |- CFrameWnd w/ Standard toolbar
         |- CTabCtrl wrapped up in a view.
            |- CScintillaView
            |- IWebBrowser2 view
      |- CFrameWnd w/ Standard toolbar
         |- CReportCtrl (a CP project)

That line is there because the tab control (view) has the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE style. I want it that way because it looks better.

However, it creates the "double-border" thing because the splitter or frame window is drawing another "client edge".

Yeah I've gone back and forth on that one. Still undecided!

Eventually I'l have time to write my own splitter but custom UI is on the back burner for me

class CMySplitterWnd : public CSplitterWnd
{
public:
   CMySplitterWnd();
};
 
CMySplitterWnd::CMySplitterWnd() : CSplitterWnd()
{
// from CSplitterWnd
