How to disable dockable bar?

If the control bar is auto hidden, the auto hide tabs have one tab item for it. If you move mouse hovers this tab item, the auto-hidden bar appears on the screen. It’s not possible to disable this behavior because the user will not be able to guess why some tab items show auto hidden bars when some other tab items do not show bars.

To hide a tab, you should hide the bar. I.e. you should put the bar into normal non-auto-hidden mode and then hide it.

You should not disable the CExtControlBar windows. They will work incorrectly. Please disable the window created as child of the CExtControlBar window. You can additionally override the following virtual method in your CExtControlBar-derived class:

 virtual void OnGetBarCaptionText(
            e_bar_caption_text_t eBCT,
            CExtSafeString & strCaptionText
            ) const;

Your method should invoke the parent class method, check whether the bar is in the disabled mode or whether its child window is disabled and add the _T(" - disabled") text to the strCaptionText string. As result, if the bar caption is Some Text, then its disabled caption will be Some Text - disabled.

Hi,

What i have done....

I have not derived any class from CExtControlBar, i have just created some object of CExtControlBar. And there are some other class of my Dialog which are derived from CExtResizableDialog. Now these dialog are created as a chield of CExtControlBar’s object, so it become a dockable bar.

Now, at some point of time, i want that dockable window should not come out when i move cursor to it. So is it possible to disable it or disable that dialog? or is it possible that when i move my cursor to that dockable bar, it should not come out.

Thanks
