Is there a way to move the right-most button of a CMFCToolbar to the right most position (of the rect) ?

Maximilien

Based on the "Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack" sample VisualStudioDemo I have a toolbar (CMFCToolbar) in a docking pane (CDockPane) that contains operations to be done on the content of the docking pane. Currently, all the toolbar buttons are "aligned" from the left side; as it is expected when working with a toolbar. Is there a way to move the right-most button in the toolbar to be at the right-most side or the rect (of the toobar) ? for example ( in ascii art) to have something like this (toolbar is between [] )

==================================================
| \[button1|button2|button3|             button4\] |
|------------------------------------------------|
|                                                |

The toolbar rect spans the whole width of the docking pane (also resizes when the docking pane resizes) Looking at the CMFCToolbar documentation and code (afxtoolbar.cpp/.h) does not seem to offer some API to do that. So, Am I chasing a wild goose? Thanks. Max.

Yes, of course... :)

// CYourToolBar : public CMfcToolBar

/*virtual*/ void CYourToolBar::AdjustLocations()
{
__super::AdjustLocations();

if (GetSafeHwnd())
{
int iCount(GetCount());
if (iCount)
{
CRect crClient(0, 0, 0, 0);
GetClientRect(crClient);

  CMFCToolBarButton\* pcButton(GetButton(iCount - 1));
  if (pcButton)
  {
    CRect crPos(pcButton->Rect());
    if (crClient.right > crPos.right)
    {
      crPos.OffsetRect(crClient.right - crPos.right, 0);
      pcButton->SetRect(crPos);
      UpdateTooltips();
    }
  }
}

}
}

Excellent !!! plug the code right in and works nearly ok; I have some minoe redraw issue that should be easy to track down. :thumbsup: Thanks.
