Displaying Control Bars on each pane

Environment: Win95 / Windows NT 4.0 / MSVC++ 4.2

I need to create an MDI app that has two views, separated by a splitter
bar, with control bars (status bar & toolbars) on each pane.

I know how to create MDI apps, add splitter bars, associate the panes
with their appropriate views.  I also know how to add control bars to
the child frames of MDI apps. I have the DLGBAR app from MSDN which
tells how to add control bars to dialog boxes, but this doesn't solve my
problem.

The best I have been able to do is create control bars which span the
entire width of the child frame instead of just the appropriate panes.

I've checked MSDN (July 96), the FAQ, Inside Visual C++, MFC Master
Class and Visual C++ How-To (4.0) and not been able to find the
solution.

Any ideas/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, here's an idea - I don't know if it will work:

Make your panes CFrameWnds containing CViews - not just plain CViews.
This should allow you to dock control bars to their edges.

I think you can put pretty much anything in a CSplitterWnd - not just vie=

The message wiring might get a bit tricky, however.
