Detect if window is split

Many times it is necessary to know whether a view is currently split or not. This method will return TRUE if the view is split and FALSE if it is not. NOTE: It does NOT detect multiple views, so don't use it to determine whether UpdateAllViews should be called!

int CMySplitterView::IsSplit(void)
{
	CSplitterWnd * parent;
	parent = (CSplitterWnd*)GetParent();
	int rows = parent->GetRowCount();
	if (rows > 1)
	{
		return TRUE;
	}
	int cols = parent->GetColumnCount();
	if (cols > 1)
	{
		return(TRUE);
	}
	return FALSE;
}

Not much of an article. How about returning an bool instead? Why would you want to return an int, if there's only two possible return values? And I doubt that it isn't possible to make that fcuntion const instead. And did you have to use all those lines of code to do that?

bool CMySplitterView::IsSplit(void) const
{
	CSplitterWnd * parent = (CSplitterWnd*)GetParent();
	return (parent->GetRowCount() > 1 || parent->GetColumnCount() > 1);
}
