Experts, MFC Layouts and Contols!

[-mk-]

Hey!

Going from X11 and Highlevel UI Toolkits to MFC has made my life a lot more complicated :-). I've started a new project completely based on windows and Visual C++ .NET. I definitly need a push in the right direction! (running out of time)

I want a similar application layout of my controls as the Visual C++ IDE look.

-----------------------------------
----------------------------------- <- Menu
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
-----------------------------------
----------------------------------- <- Status
^^^
Resizable bar

I like the look and feel of the IDE! How do I get the "theme" right? the MFC
appwizard only creates "old-time" look of the applications it generates.

This is a wide topic I know, but please give me a hint!!

Thanks,

-mk-

Create an SDI application and add a CDialogBar class to get the docking window. I haven't looked lately, but there should be some samples up in the code section of this site.
