Hello,

how can I disable user resizing and redocking of an CExtControlBar?

For example, I use the CExtControlBar as container for an AVI-Screen that should not be resized and redocked by user at run time, but at the start of my SDI application should be just once docked on the top of my MainFrame window.

Sorry for bad english! :)

Dear Kenan,

You can disable resizing and redocking of the resizable control bar and it’s not difficult. Here is the source code for the control bar that you can use use as a container for your AVI view:

class CMyControlBar : public CExtControlBar
{
    // do not perform any resizing
    virtual void _RowRecalcingStart(){}
    virtual void _RowResizingStart(){}
    // do not float control bar on
    // mouse double clicks
    virtual void FloatControlBar(
        CPoint ptFloat,
        DWORD dwStyle = CBRS_ALIGN_TOP
        )
    {
        ptFloat;
        dwStyle;
    }
    // do not use resizing non-client
    // cursor pointers
    virtual void _SetCursor(
        const CPoint & point
        )
    {
        point;
        ::SetCursor(
            ::GetClassLong(
                m_hWnd,
                GCL_HCURSOR
                )
            );
    }
};

VERIFY(
    m_wndResizableBarH.Create(
        NULL,
        this,
        ID_VIEW_RESIZABLE_BAR_H,
        WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CBRS_TOP
        |CBRS_FLYBY|CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC
        )
    );
