Introduction
This class, to be inserted into your project, only needs a few functions to be set up.
Files Needed
- CollapsiblePanel.h
- CollapsiblePanel.cpp
Resources
- An empty dialog to define the initial control bar size.
- A bitmap image for the logo of the button (if required).
- A bitmap image for the expanded icon of the button.

Sample Code
In your CMainFrame header file, define a variable of the type “CCollapsiblePanel”:
CCollapsiblePanel m_wndCollapsiblePanel;
In the CMainFrame::OnCreate() method:
- Create the CDialog corresponding to the panels of the collapsible button:
CDialog* m_wndView1 = new CDialogButton1();
m_wndCollapsiblePanel.CreateTheContainer(this, IDD_PANEL, true); m_wndCollapsiblePanel.SetTheBkColor(RGB(100, 149, 237));
or
m_wndCollapsiblePanel.SetDefaultSystemColor(); m_wndCollapsiblePanel.SetExpandBitmap(IDB_BITMAP_EXPAND);
m_wndCollapsiblePanel.SetTheControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, &m_wndStatusBar);
m_wndCollapsiblePanel.AppendButton("Text Button 1", IDB_BITMAP_DW, m_wndView1, IDD_DIALOG_BUTTON1); m_wndCollapsiblePanel.AppendButton("Text Button 2", IDB_BITMAP_FW, m_wndView2, IDD_DIALOG_BUTTON2); m_wndCollapsiblePanel.AppendButton("text Button 3", NULL, NULL, NULL);
