Hello

CExtControBar docks to a frame. Or (CExtControBar accompanies other docking bars.)

I carry out FloatControlBar.

From this state.

I want to steep CExtControBar in an original docking state.
(CDockBar, CExtDockBar, CExtDockDynBar, CExtDockDynTabBar)

Will it be possible?

This feature (restoring the previous docked position of a control bar by double clicking its caption when it is floating) is not yet supported for resizable control bars.

Hello
Thank you for an answer.

May not you handle it by programming?

(1) The state that CExtControlBar docked.
I save this in a variable.
(2) I carry out FloatControlBar.
(3) I carry out order X by a program. (DockControlBar?????)
(4) CExtControlBar returned to a state of (1).

Hello

I examine a state of Control Strip in this.
I can return it to an original state. ??

//

pCExtDockDynBar->m_arrBars.GetAt(iRec);

This source code can be used only for determining the current position of a resizable control bar. When you are redocking or floating the bar, the previous position is lost. The outer bars like a toolbar keep markers in place of the docking position when the bar gets floating. The marker is a WORD value in the CDockBar::m_arrBars array. This approach is not acceptable for resizable control bars because, they can be organized into complex layouts with more than four dock bars near frame borders.
