Overview

This article implements TabedReBar control similar to CReBar which displays bars via Tab control. The main propose of the TabedReBar control is reducing space of the MainFrame window by collecting several bars in one TabedReBar. Each bar (ToolBar, StatusBar, DialogBar etc.) added in TabedReBar is separated by a Tab.

Class CBHTabedReBar

The CBHTabedReBar is derived from CControlBar and contains the following methods and data members:

Methods

void DrawGripper(CDC* pDC); //Draws griper on left side of the control
BOOL AddBar(CControlBar*pBar,LPCTSTR pszText = NULL);//Add Bars to TabedReBar
CTabCtrl& GetTabCtrl() const; // access the tab control

//{{AFX_MSG(CBHTabedReBar)
afx_msg int OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct);
afx_msg void OnTabSelChange(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) ;
afx_msg void OnWindowPosChanged(WINDOWPOS* lpwndpos);
afx_msg void OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point);
afx_msg void OnLButtonDblClk(UINT nFlags, CPoint point);
//}}AFX_MSG

//{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CBHTabedReBar)
virtual void OnUpdateCmdUI(CFrameWnd* pTarget, BOOL bDisableIfNoHndler);
virtual BOOL Create( CWnd* pParentWnd,
                           DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP,
                           UINT nID = AFX_IDW_TABED_REBAR);
virtual CSize CalcFixedLayout( BOOL bStretch, BOOL bHorz );
virtual void DoPaint(CDC* pDC); // overriden virtual member
//{{AFX_VIRTUAL

Members

int                            m_nToobBarHeight;//height of tab

int                            m_nActiveTab; // currently active tab

CRect                          m_rectClient; // rect of the tab control

CList <TCB_ITEM *,TCB_ITEM *>  m_Bars; // list of derived ControlBars

CTabCtrl                       m_tabctrl; // Tab Control

Implementation

CBHTabedReBar class supports docking (top, bottom from now) and floating features. Define CBHTabedReBar class object on the same way as you define CReBar.

In MainFrm.h, declare variable CBHTabedReBar:

CBHTabedReBar m_wndTabedReBar;

In MainFrm.cpp, in OnCreate message member after creation of ToolBars, DialogBar etc., add code similar to this:

int CMainFrame:: OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
//................
//Here comes standard creation code
//Creation code for CBHTabedReBar control


m_wndTabedReBar.Create(this);
m_wndTabedReBar.SetWindowText("Tabed ReBar");
m_wndTabedReBar.SetBarStyle(m_wndToolBar.GetBarStyle() |
                            CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC);

//Adding Bars to TabedReBar control
m_wndTabedReBar.AddBar(&m_wndToolBar1,"Standard Toolbar");
m_wndTabedReBar.AddBar(&m_wndExplererToolBar,"Explorer Toolbar");

//Adding Icons to Tab Control

m_images.Create(IDB_TABIMAGES, 16, 1, RGB(255,0,255));
m_wndTabedReBar.GetTabCtrl().SetImageList(&m_images);
}
