No change from the original screenshot (actually a mockup done in Photoshop of two separate screenshots - the one in the 'red rectangle' is what actually appears - the rest is a screenshot where I used Winspector to remove the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE style - it changed instantly when CFrameWnd had the style [i.e. before I started fiddling with PreCreateWindow()]).
I can't tell what the difference is because you've got themes enabled - it is a lot easier to tell what is going on if themes are disabled. However, I do notice one thing different: My toolbar has a line below it while yours doesn't. 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!

Exactly! I've been looking at the CSplitterWnd code (that's always bugged me).
Eventually I'l have time to write my own splitter but custom UI is on the back burner for me

So...what you are saying is that I'd have to roll my own splitter? ST_SplitterWnd is probably a better codebase to start from and then just override the painting code from CSplitterWnd in ST_SplitterWnd but that would really only be necessary for the case where someone wants to set an alternate style. The default works pretty well for most cases.

Overriding the painting part is fairly easy. It's all the calculations for repositioning the
view panes that are based on the 3D border that are the problem!
CSplitterWnd::OnDrawSplitter() overridable looks interesting...
If you do all that work, I'll gladly "test" it for you for free

I'm still looking at the CSplitterWnd code. There's a few handy undocumented overridables.
May not be as much work as I thought...
I'm going to try a bit and see what happens.
Opening the can of worms...

Here's a custom CSplitterWnd class - all I changed was the constructor
Needs a little work but getting rid of the fat 2 pixel border helps.
I'd like to draw them more subtle like Visual Studios...
(I removed themes for these screenshots)
Before (CSplitterWnd)[^]
After (CMySplitterWnd)[^]
class CMySplitterWnd : public CSplitterWnd
{
public:
CMySplitterWnd();
};
CMySplitterWnd::CMySplitterWnd() : CSplitterWnd()
{
m_cxSplitter = m_cySplitter = 3;
m_cxBorderShare = m_cyBorderShare = 0;
m_cxSplitterGap = m_cySplitterGap = 3;
m_cxBorder = m_cyBorder = 0;
}
"Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot?

These settings seem more pleasing...
m_cxSplitter = m_cySplitter = 3 + 1 + 1;
m_cxBorderShare = m_cyBorderShare = 0;
m_cxSplitterGap = m_cySplitterGap = 3 + 1 + 1;
m_cxBorder = m_cyBorder = 1;
Here's a screenshot[^]

Not exactly the effect I'm going after. It affects both sides of the splitter. I want to control just the "client edge" drawing of one specific view. In this case, the code should only affect just one side of the splitter (top part).
Figure how how to affect the drawing of a single side of a splitter and you'll probably have code worthy of a CP article on your hands.

That may be easy. There's a documented override for the drawing. I'll try in the morning
(11:17pm here )
It looks like I need something similar with a splitter on a tab control. The top line of the splitter pane box messes up the indication of which tab is selected.

Get anywhere with that?

I'm back on it - got totally sidetracked on some emailed code yesterday
I shall return...

Ok. So far I can control...
Splitter width
3D Border width (0,1,2(default))
Which border sides are drawn
All the colors of the drawn border sides (if thickness 2, 2 colors each)
Face color of splitter bar
All border and face colors of the splitter box (shown/used on dynamic splitters)
Useful?

 That would be tough - I need to investigate that further.
Still finishing it up in article-worthy (hopefully) fashion.

Interesting. I'd probably have to see a demo app. in action. Or get sleep. One of the two anyway.
Mark Salsbery wrote: That would be tough - I need to investigate that further.
Hmm...maybe it can be faked by setting border width to 0 and then setting WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE on each view EXCEPT the views that authors don't want. Would that work? I'll try it sometime in the next two days with ST_SplitterWnd, but it would be nice to know if it will work up front before I burn a couple hours trying.

Good idea. I'll send the code tomorrow am - it's easy enough to test - it's derived from
CSplitterWnd.

Anything happening with this? I've been busy with other projects and haven't had time to try anything out.

I am not sure you can do that reliably - under some situations, even trying to closing the console can result in a process being forceably terminated as opposed to ending normally. Launch a command prompt, run the FTP client in it and then try to close the console window by clicking the [X] for an example.
I do not know of a single way to have a process be able to execute some kind of atexit(...) functionality in all cases of the process ending (normally or abnormally).
My suggestion, if something MUST run regardless of how the process ends, is to have another lightweight process that gets the HANDLE to the first process, and when the HANDLE becomes signaled, it indicates that the first process has ended and your second program can do/run something.
Peace!

Hey guys, I'm writing a small in house tool with VS2005. I've been messing around with different examples, and I'm about at the point of pulling what's left of my hair out and jumping out of a window.
This may sound incredibly stupid, but I cannot add a scroll bar, neither vertical nor horizontal, to my application.
Secondly, I can't figure out how to resize the applications window to the size of the image being opened.
Project created with MFC wizard, single document, and working inside of the ChildView generated class.
I win because I have the most fun in life...

Use a CScrollView derived view class, all the scroll bar handling stuff is then already done for you.
Secondly, take a look at the AdjustWindowRect[Ex] API.
You may be right
I may be crazy

ppl need help
I create a process and I want to monitor what processes get access to my process, and in some cases deny the access.
How to realize this thing?
