CSplitterWnd in CMDIFrameWnd NOT CChildFrame

[vasanth1004]

I need the MainFrame of my MDI app to be split (with CSplitterWnd), and subsequent CViews to be created in one of the CSplitterWnds. Is this possible? Basically, I'm trying to get the MS Outlook look (the sidebar) in an MDI app. Thanks

yes i think the wizard for 6 and 7 both have the option to start yourp roject like that too otherwise you create the splitters in CMainFrame::OnCreateClient there is some example code how to do it in the msdn info on CSplitterWnd also

Hi! I have the same problem. The MSDN did not really help. Similar to splitting child-windows (in CChildFrame), I tried to split CMainFrame. But what have I to insert into the right pane - so that there are the child-windows. CMainFrame can not work... Alex
