Doc/View and Split Screen

[ahammad]

Hello,

I used the Doc/View architecture to create a split screen application. On startup, the screen is already split horizontally. I did the following in the MainFrm class:

BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT /*lpcs*/,
    CCreateContext* pContext)
{
    if(m_wndSplitter.Create(this,
        2, 2,               // TODO: adjust the number of rows, columns
        CSize(10, 10),      // TODO: adjust the minimum pane size
        pContext))
    {
        PostMessage(WM_APP + 1);
        return TRUE;
    }
    else
        return FALSE;
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)
    ON_WM_CREATE()
    ON_MESSAGE(WM_APP + 1,OnApp1)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
 
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnApp1(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{
    m_wndSplitter.SplitRow(100);
    return 0;
}

My question is how can i access the different parts of the screen? For example, if I want to put something in the top portion, how would I do that? What is the top portion defined as?


This is the first time I use Doc/View, so I'm not familiar with the higher level stuff.

Thanks

You will need to create view windows for the 2 halfs of the splitter window which will need to have been derived from CView (although not necessarily directly).

Then call the method m_wndSplitter.CreateView(...)

Then you can call m_wndSplitter.GetPane(...) to get pointers to the classes of the view windows for the 2 halfs of the splitter window.

How do you do that?

I tried this:

m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitMFCView), CSize(10, 10), pContext);

But it didn't work. CSplitMFCView is my own class that inherits from CView. The file SplitMFCView.h is included in my MainFrm.cpp file.

The error is:

error C2653: 'CSplitMFCView' : is not a class or namespace name

What am I missing here?

Thanks
