Dear Support,

I am trying to resize 4 docked control bars at runtime.  The first code snippet does the docking. The 2nd code snippet should resize the control bars. If there is only one contol bar docked it works but as soon as there is more than one control bar that is docked it fails. What is wrong.

m_wndMainItem0.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(CSize(cxScreen * 3 / 5, 0));
m_wndMainItem0.DockControlBarInnerOuter(
AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT,
m_wndMainItem0.DockControlBarIntoTabbedContainer(
&m_wndMainItem1, -1, NULL,
m_wndMainItem0.DockControlBarIntoTabbedContainer(
&m_wndMainItem2, -1, NULL,
m_wndMainItem0.DockControlBarIntoTabbedContainer(
&m_wndMainItem3, -1, NULL,
ShowControlBar(&m_wndMainItem0, TRUE, FALSE);
ShowControlBar(&m_wndMainItem1, TRUE, FALSE);
ShowControlBar(&m_wndMainItem2, TRUE, FALSE);
ShowControlBar(&m_wndMainItem3, TRUE, FALSE);true);false);false);false);

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void
{
 
m_wndMainItem0.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(CSize(nDesired, 32767));
m_wndMainItem0.CalcDynamicLayout(nDesired, LM_VERTDOCK|LM_COMMIT);
 
m_wndMainItem1.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(CSize(nDesired, 32767));
m_wndMainItem1.CalcDynamicLayout(nDesired, LM_VERTDOCK|LM_COMMIT);
 
m_wndMainItem2.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(CSize(nDesired, 32767));
m_wndMainItem2.CalcDynamicLayout(nDesired, LM_VERTDOCK|LM_COMMIT);
 
m_wndMainItem3.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(CSize(nDesired, 32767));
m_wndMainItem3.CalcDynamicLayout(nDesired, LM_VERTDOCK|LM_COMMIT);
 
RecalcLayout();
} CMainFrame::OnHomeSub2Item0()int nDesired = 250;

Thanks

A tabbed group of resizable control bars is also a resizable control bar of the CExtDynTabControlBar type (CExtControlBar-derived of course). The CExtControlBar::_GetNearestTabbedContainer() API returns a pointer to the parent tabbed bar or NULL pointer if the queried bar is not inside the tabbed group. You should resize the tabbed bar group instead of the single bar.

Thanks, that’s just what I needed. Moved from version 2.53 to 2.90 and suddenly my old way of setting desired sizes (sizing the bar itself and the bar I docked on) wasn’t working anymore. Using the nearest tabbed container works fine.

Thank you. Now it works!

Please take a look at the following test project.
