I am working on an MDI application and I am using a series of dockable controls that slide over the child frames/views.
Whenever the view being covered is graphic intensive, sliding the control bar becomes slow.

What I want to achieve is the following: whenever a dockable control bar is hidden in a tab container and then selected, the control bar should become visible in one step (no animation for sliding). Similarly whenever the control bar turns from visible to hidden into the tab container it would be nisce to do it in one step (again, no animation).

Is it possible to achieve this while using a plain CExtControlBar object (I am not using the dynamic control bars derived from the former)?

Thanks,

Emil

You can disable the auto-hide animation for all the bars using the following code:

CExtControlBar::g_bDisableAutoHideAnimationExpanding = true;
CExtControlBar::g_bDisableAutoHideAnimationCollapsing = true;

It works

Thank you,
