How to create a GUI that looks similar to MSDEV environment using
V++ C1.52
The specs are like this: Create a Frame with a view in it. Put a
vertical Splitter On to the left load a list of "thumb Nails" with a
scrollbar. On to the right create 'N' number of windows to hold images
corresponding to the thumb nails on the left.
This requirement has both of qualities of SDI and MDI. The reasons are:
1.There is only one Frame (SDI) 2 There is only One View. (SDI) 3
There are multiple windows to hold different images. (MDI) 4 Each
image will be a data entity. (MDI)
As a whole this looks like a MSDEV Studio environment where we see a
tree control on to the left and a whole bunch of source windows on to
the right.
I absolutely don't have any clue on how to create such an application
using MFC 1.52
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use a CSplitterWnd to join together 3 views in the same way
that Developer Studio does it.

It is not easy to do a UI that looks like the MS Dev (ie Docking views). Try and you'll see why.....not impossible but fairly difficult. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, we're bought a product called Objective Toolkit from StingRay Software. It does the docking views, and a lot more......their demo looks so much like the MS Dev that I wonder if they didn't implement the UI for Microsoft in the first place.... Regards, Micky | |||||
