Auto align of toolbar by frame width

[akhil_sudheesh]

Hi, am building a GUI MFC application, I have several toolbars in my application, i want my toolbars to auto align according to my application frame width, the code i have been tried is given below. By this code the toolbar is simply align in a single row. what should i do to reach my goal?:confused: thanks in advance

m_wndMenuBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb1.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb4.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb8.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb9.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb2.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb3.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb6.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb7.EnableDocki:confused:ng(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

EnableDocking(CBRS\_ALIGN\_ANY);

DockPane(&m\_wndMenuBar);
DockPane(&tb9);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb8, &tb9);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb4, &tb8);
DockPaneLeftOf(&m\_wndToolBar, &tb4);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb1, &m\_wndToolBar);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb7, &tb1);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb6, &tb7);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb3, &tb6);
DockPaneLeftOf(&tb2, &tb3);

Your intention is not totally clear, can you try and explain better what you are trying to do and what is not working ?

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what is used to.

Hi, thanks for the replay, my program consist of 9 toolbars of which different length, when i arrange my toolbars it appearing on a single row, so some of my toolbars are not visible am sharing a screen shot with this replay the first image shows how toolbar appears when i build the application, the 2nd image shows my requirement https://plus.google.com/photos/108871638000088451495/albums/5990517728523218353?authkey=COPXvr6RjcCABQ[^] hope you understand my requirement thank you

OK, I see. Can you fish something out of this code sample : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb983325%28v=vs.90%29.aspx[^]

Another comment: Is your toolbar CMFCToolbar ? From MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc665920.aspx[^]

This method (EnableDocking) extends the base class implementation, CBasePane::EnableDocking, by setting the CBasePane::m_dwControlBarStyle data member to AFX_CBRS_FLOAT. This method then passes dwAlignment to the base class implementation.

Maybe you would need the AFX_CBRS_RESIZE as well, see here in the base class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc701911.aspx[^]

Yes am using CMFCToolbar, i have already checked with palette sample and EnableDocking();, they didnt help me :( i will attach the code i have tried for docking the toolbar

m_wndMenuBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb1.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb2.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb3.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb4.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb6.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb7.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb8.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
tb9.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

DockPane(&m\_wndMenuBar);

// tb1.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// m_wndToolBar.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb4.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb8.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb9.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb2.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb3.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb6.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// tb7.SetControlBarStyle(AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);

DockPane(&tb1);
DockPane(&m\_wndToolBar);
DockPane(&tb4);
DockPane(&tb8);
DockPane(&tb9);
DockPane(&tb7);
DockPane(&tb3);
DockPane(&tb6);
DockPane(&tb2);
