Hi please have a look at the comment "Won't work?!" in the Article: http://www.codeproject.com/shell/shellextguide4.asp?df=100&forumid=574&select=415328[^] I would appreciate any help thanks

Thanks Nish, it was indeed a stupid programming mistake which Win98 doesn't care about but win 2000 does..

I wrote a program with CFormViews containing several controls (CButtons, CEdit...) On certain events I enable or disable them using: GetDlgItem(IDC_WHATEVER)->EnableWindow(TRUE); or GetDlgItem(IDC_WHATEVER)->EnableWindow(FALSE); it works perfectly fine in Win 98 but wouldn't work in Win 2000, Controls just refuse to become gray and deactivated I've got ServicePack 5 installed and I've tried it on several Computers but with no success. What could be wrong?? Thanks in advance, Semlo

How or better Where do i initialize Controls in a CFormView? e.g. I've got a ComboBox in my FormView and want to set the third icon out of 8. In a Dialog Box I'd call SetCurSel() in InitDialog. But there seems to be no function like InitDialog for a FormView! Please help me! Thanks in advance, Semlo

Thanks a lot for your answer, Steen! This really helps me a lot! You guessed right, I want to create a nested splitter. It should look like this: ------------------------------ |*CForm* |***************| |*View** |***************| |***1***|***************| |---------|*****CView***** | |*CForm* |***************| |*View** |***************| |***2***|***************| ------------------------------- As i have been thinking about putting tabs in "CFormView 2" pane Zoran Todorovic's Visual Framework probably is the perfect solution for me. Thanks for the hint! Anyway, if someone knows an easier (shorter) way of creating nested splitter please let me know! Semlo

Doesn't anyone have a hint for me? Do you need more detailed information? please someone help me! Semlo

I have an SDI app with static SplitterWnd with two panes. If I load a CFormView in both of them everything works fine. But if I load a CFrameWnd into one of the panes I get an Assertion Error (I think it's either CMainFrame::AssertValid() or CFrameWnd::AssertValid() ) when exiting the app. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to add any member functions to my CFrameWnd class? I've been trying to solve that problem for two days and I'm desperate. Please help me! btw: In Release mode everything works alright. Semlo
