MDI in a splitter pane???

Environment: VC++ 4.2, Win95
I followed the discussion about one doc & multiple views. Here is my
problem:
I'm trying to create an app with 2 workspaces, which act as panes in a
splitter window. The left pane is CTreeView, but the right one is MDI,
where every child is a view of the same document.
(Something like VC++ IDE, but without docking : Project Workspace
(left pane) & InfoViewer(right pane)).
Any suggestions about the architecture?
I thought about:
- MDI app with resizable control bar;
- MDI app with "special" child window, which is always left-docked;
- SDI app with splitter, which right view in some way is MDI client
window;
Is there a way to use CMDIFrameWnd as a pane in a splitter?
Thanks, Krassimir

I spent a long time working on this... It is not trivial.
My solution was to buy the Stingray Objective Toolkit which provides this
functionality & much more besides by giving you a set of MFC extension classes.
Take a look at http:\\www.stingsoft.com

I think the solution lies, as you say, in adding a custom (derived-)
control bar with CTreeCTrl or CTreeView in it ( and a splitter on its right
side. You'll have to handle this splitter yourself).
MDI child frames reside in the client area of their MDI parent frame. So if
you want to put children in the splitter pane, you'll have first to put the
MDIClient window in the pane. I don't think this is the easiest solution
since you'll have to handle resizing of the MDI client yourself... and
prevent the frame to resize it as he wants.
On the other hand, control bars handle MDI client resizing for you.
The fastest solution is Objective Toolkit from Stingray. Check out
http://www.stingsoft.com but i guess by the time i post this answer, Scott
has already put his own ad ;)
Hope this helps.

This particular proposition wouldn't work, since an MDI child window
expects its parent, the MDI client window, to be an immediate children
an MDI parent window which must have a valid menu.
In a case of the contrary, ::BringWindowToTop() called to activate the
first MDI child, breaks (I suppose it happens when tries to update the
menu of the MDI Frame and finds there the window ID instead).
Otherwise, it wouldn't be that difficult IMHO to implement the custom
resize for MDI client. It would do to change its ID to exclude it from
the usual ResizeBars() procedure.

I think that a CDialogBar will do exactly wat you need
- Make a DialogBar in your resource file and include a CTreeControl in it
- let the class wizard make the class and fill in the blanks
- place the dialogbar into your MainFrame (where the toolbar and the
statusbar are included)
thats all (more or less)
