Is it possible to use a CHtmlView as the child of a CExtControlBar?

If so, could someone provide me with some sample code which achieves this?

thanks

Neil

Dear Neil,


You can create and use any window as a child of any other window. So, you can freely use any view inside the Prof-UIS resizable bar. The question is only how to do this ;-) I assume your main frame has m_wndResizableBarWithHtmlView resizable bar and it is created in CMainFrame::OnCreate():

 if( ! m_wndResizableBarWithHtmlView.Create(
   NULL, // _T("Optional control bar caption"),
   this,
   ID_VIEW_RESIZABLEBAR_HTML_VIEWER
   )
  )
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create m_wndResizableBarWithHtmlView\n");
  ASSERT( FALSE );
  return -1; // fail to create
 }

CHtmlView * pView =
  STATIC_DOWNCAST(
   CHtmlView,
   RUNTIME_CLASS(CHtmlView) -> CreateObject()
   );
 if( ! pView->Create(
   ::AfxRegisterWndClass(0),
   _T(""),
   WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,
   CRect(0,0,0,0),
   &m_wndResizableBarWithHtmlView,
   UINT(IDC_STATIC),
   NULL
   )
  )
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create html view\n");
  ASSERT( FALSE );
  return -1; // fail to create
 }
 pView->Navigate2( _T("http:\\\\www.prof-uis.com") );
