How do I add view to my splitter panes.

I just created a MDI MFC doc/view app that has a splitter using mfc wizard,but I am wondering how I will add views to my each pane.

Below is the code that MFC generated.

C++

BOOL CChildFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT /*lpcs*/, CCreateContext* pContext)
{
	return m_wndSplitter.Create(this,
		1, 2,			// TODO: adjust the number of rows, columns
		CSize(10, 10),	// TODO: adjust the minimum pane size
		pContext);
                
               //I ajusted the number of rows and columns to 1,2.

 
}

My app has more than one document type and I want to bind a different view each to each pane. How do I do it?

You need to declare your view types first, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ha4x4wc7.aspx[^].

I know I have to create the views, but that function is used to create views for static splitters. This is a dynamic splitter. Is there an equivalent function for dynamic splitters? It appears the frame work creates the views of the same view type in dynamic splitting. How do I intercept the view creation in dynamic splitters so as to decide which view type each pane is?

Sorry, I'm not sure, it's quite a while since I used MFC. However, I would expect you just need to manually code what is autogenerated from the templates. The documentation should help you, and there may even be some samples around in the CodeProject articles.

Take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3509/Splitter-Window-Tutorial.

I have seen that via google search. It is an article on Static Splitter and not dynamic splitter? By the way, what are you using now? Asked because I am thinking of dumping MFC for Qt.

Static or dynamic makes no difference. All Windows have to be created at run time, so the code is much the same. You just need to read it through carefully to see what API calls are made, and how the Views fit in the splitter panes. If that article is not clear enough then I am sure there are many more. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5xttbe5t.aspx for more information. I only code in pure Win32 since a) MFC does not ship with the Express editions of Visual Studio, and b) I was never a great fan of it.

I am sorry for ds belated comment. just seing it now. how come u seem to know so much anout mfc? Don't u have concerns about d long time it takes to complete project using win32 API?

I used to use MFC in my professional life and it was not much faster to write than pure Win32.
