This article assumes that you understand how to set-up OpenGL in a CView derived class. Zooming and panning an orthographic projection can be done by manipulating the projection matrix. In the following function, SetupOrtho(int cx, int cy), values for the real world origin and maximum coordinate values are used to set up the clip rectangle. […]

I have seen a number of OpenGL view classes in various magazines. NONE of them addressed printing. Sigh. So, suppose you have an OpenGL view class with member data storing the HGLRC and CDC (which are required for an OpenGL-enabled window): class COpenGLView : public CView { … protected: CDC *m_pDC; HGLRC m_hRC; … }; […]

MFC static splitter windows have a significant limitation. Their panes can’t be hidden or shown dynamically. To solve the problem I overrode the CSplitterWnd. The new class can hide a splitter window column. Sure, it’s only one approach to the problem, but it’s a good example anyway. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // splitex.h // (c) 1997, Oleg […]

This is a pair of classes that will allow you to give the user control over the orientation of the splitter in a static splitter window. The first is CTogSplitterWnd, a CSplitterWnd that contains support for actually toggling the splitter bar. The second, CSplitFrame, is a CMDIChildWnd (though changing this to be any other CFrameWnd […]

  I have seen many programmers asking how to create a splitter window in a dialog box. Unfortunately MFC does not provide a splitter control that can be directly embedded into a dialog box. CSplitterWnd is somehow designed to be used only inside a frame window. I have also seen a few attempts, but none […]

Here is a another Outlook lookalike example source code. The OutlookStyle application is an SDI window. The main frame consist of a static splitter window with one row and two columns. The left column CLeftPaneView is derived from CFormView and CRightPaneFrame is derived from CFrameWnd. BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext) { // TODO: Add your […]

If you want to implement splitter window in your MFC based application that redraws its panes dynamically (like Microsoft Windows Explorer does when you have IE4.0 installed) then you can use my simple class CDynSplitterWnd. Dragging CDynSplitterWnd splitter bar does not show a hatched line, instead it immediately redraws itself at a new position as […]

This method will tell you where on the split window this view is located (row and column). void CMySplitterView::GetRowCol(int &row, int & col) { CSplitterWnd * parent; parent = (CSplitterWnd*)GetParent(); int rows; int cols; rows = parent->GetRowCount(); cols = parent->GetColumnCount(); for(row = 0; row < rows; row++) { for(col = 0; col < cols; col++) […]

If you want to have a “Split” item on the menu instead of just using the split boxes in the scroll bars call this method. This is very useful if you want to split a view that has no scroll bars. void CMySplitterView::OnWindowSplit() { ((CSplitterWnd*)GetParent())->DoKeyboardSplit(); }

Many times it would be nice to have some visual feedback as to which pane in a split view currently has the focus. This is very useful if you have multiple view types and different keyboard strokes cause different actions in each. NOTE: This uses an undocumented feature in MFC so be careful in the […]

 Download Source Code and Sample Project Many programmers are interesting in splitter that using in dialogbox, so do I. When I read the article General Purpose Splitter Class written by Yurong Lin, I got an idea to make my own classes. Anyway, Lin‘s splitter is very good and easy to use, but it has some […]

Download Source Code and Example This article extends the article “Resizable Docking Window 2” by Cristi Posea. Features Control bar like in DevStudio, which has TabControls with different Views (like TreeViews) and it can be docked and resized. Instructions Add the following class to your project: CSizingControlBar CSizingTabCtrlBar Add a member variable to CMainFrame (in […]
