Forums » Prof-UIS General Discussion » Toolbox-like control but more complex Collapse All

I need something looking and behaving similar to toolbox control (rolling horizontal bars to cover/uncover items) but:



  • with modeless dialogs as items

  • in the non-resizable bar

  • hiding the same way as current toolbox control does

 


Is it possible? :) I just started with Prof-UIS and learning...

Dear Dmitri,

The toolbox control operates like a tree control with three levels (the invisible root item, group items, and bottom level items). If you are going to replace the bottom level items with child dialogs, then it is impossible. But to implement that, you may use the CExtPageContainer class. Please take a look at the PageContainer sample application. It demonstrates expandable windows inside a toolbox-like window (this control is called "Outlook-like page container").
