Description.
We introduce a new interface extension for MDI(multiple document interface)
based applications - tabbed MDI interface or MTI (just make it sound
familiar).
We haven't changed anything in the relationships between a frame window
(MDIFrame window) and its children (MDIChild windows). We changed the
functionality of the window that is usually overlooked while developing
MDI applications, being the MDIClient window which resides in the client
area of the MDIFrame window and manages MDIChild windows. Instead of
just displaying the MDIClient window we also display a standard tab control
(that's why "tabbed" MDI) in which we create an item for every MDIChild
window. The window icon and text will be associated with the corresponding
tab item.
Using the tab control you can switch very quickly between MDIChild windows
by just clicking on the tab item. If you double click over a tab item then
the corresponding MDIChild window will be maximized/restored. And, finally,
when any object is dragged over the tab control items (using standard
OLE drag and drop) the corresponding MDIChild window will be activated.
Of course, as long as we use a standard tab control you can customize its
appearance using the standard set of applicable functions.
We developed three classes in order to provide the above described
functionality:
COXTabWorkspaceDropTarget - COleDropTarget derived class used
to support the changing of active
MDIChild when any object is dragged
over tab control items.
COXTabWorkspace - CTabCtrl derived class. Covers
MDIClient area. For every MDIChild
window there will be the tab item
that will use the window text and icon
as the item text and icon. Whenever you
click on an item the corresponding
child window will be activated.
Whenever you double click on the item
the corresponding MDIChild window
will be maximized/restored.
COXTabClientWnd - CWnd derived class. Subclasses MDIClient
window. Manages the placement of the
MDIClient and tab control regarding each
other.
Almost all the logic of the classes is implemented internally and there is not
that many public members. Refer to the COXTabWorkspace reference for the list of
functions available to customize the tab control appearance.
COXTabClientWnd class has a few public functions (refer to COXTabClientWnd
reference for details) but primarily you will be interested in the following ones:
BOOL Attach(const CMDIFrameWnd* pParentFrame,
DWORD dwTabCtrlStyle=DEFAULT_TABCTRLSTYLE);
// --- In : pParentFrame - pointer to MDIFrame window of
// the application
// dwTabCtrlStyle - tab control styles that will be
// used while creating the tab control.
// Refer to the Windows SDK documentation
// for list of all available styles.
// The following styles are used by
// default:
//
// TCS_MULTILINE
// TCS_BOTTOM
// TCS_HOTTRACK
// TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE
// TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY
//
// --- Out :
// --- Returns: TRUE if success or FALSE otherwise.
// --- Effect : Substitutes the standard MDI interface with enhanced
// tabbed MDI
BOOL Detach();
// --- In :
// --- Out :
// --- Returns: TRUE if success or FALSE otherwise.
// --- Effect : Restore the standard MDI interface
So in order to implement a tabbed MDI application you could take the
following steps:
1) Create the standard MDI application or use the existing one.
2) Define the object of COXTabClientWnd class in your
CMDIFrameWnd derived class (usually CMainFrame)
// MTI client window
COXTabClientWnd m_MTIClientWnd;
3) In the OnCreate() function of your CMDIFrameWnd derived class call
the COXTabClientWnd::Attach function
m_MTIClientWnd.Attach(this);
That's it.
Example.
We updated the CoolToolBar sample that is found in the .\Samples\gui\CoolToolBar
subdirectory of your Ultimate Toolbox directory. There you will see how you
can customize the tabbed MDI interface appearance.
