Thanks Jason :)
I am using a similar approach and your suggestions
indeed are helpful. I was having problem in accessing
the pointer to m_pChildFrame (refering to your code).
I was using static_cast with GetParent() in the View
class but it seemd GetParentFrame() is the one that
should be used. GetParent() is resizing the
CSlitterBar window only (and not the bounding
ChildFrame).I am working on it and once ready i will
get back so that it becomes useful for others too.
warm regards,
