Is it possible to customize the "inner" toolbars, which are docked to the MDI child window.

How could this be done in your MDI_InnerOuterBars?

Thank you

I only want to customize the "inner" docked toolbars of a mdi child frame. The menu of the child frame is already customizable by the MenuInfoAdd - call for this document type in the OnCreate implementation of the main frame.

But the problem is, that if the child frame is closed, the toolbar items of the main frame are no longer usable (no icons, wrong text,...). The problem was already discussed in the support forum "calling CExtCustomizeSite::EnableCustomization more than once" AND solved.

Could you please post the solution to the rest of us.

Thanks

Initialization of the MDI child frame window differs from the main frame window. Please contact us by e-mail: we will send you a sample application.

It is possible to turn on the customization for CMDIChildFrame window as it is done for the main frame window. But this is not a good idea. The customize mode in the main frame window is a specific mode of your application when the user cannot click anywhere inside the frame window but draggable toolbar buttons and menu items. The user even cannot close the main frame window. If you try to do this with the MDI child frame window when the parent main frame window still work in normal mode, then this design will raise a lot of questions: whether you can invoke commands in the main frame? whether you can switch into other MDI child frame? whether you can close the main frame? whether you can customize two MDI child frames at the same time and drag-and-drop commands between them while looking at two identical popup customize dialogs?
