Toolbar In CView

[YonaX]

I have a CToolBar inside a CView dirived class. It works pretty well, you can click on the buttons and all and the corrent messages are sent. But there is a problem. If the view that the ToolBar is in is not in focus, the ToolBar is disabled. You have to click on the view that the ToolBar is in to make it re-enable itself.

Please help me on this, Thanks.

Update commands are by default sent to the active view only. Try adding the following to CMainFrame to change this routing:

BOOL CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo) 
{
    CDocument *pDoc = GetActiveDocument();
    if(pDoc)
    {
	POSITION pos = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition();
	CView *pView = NULL;
	while(pView = pDoc->GetNextView(pos))
	{
	    if(pView != GetActiveView()
		&& pView->OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo))
		return TRUE;
	}
    }

    return CFrameWnd::OnCmdMsg(nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo);
}

Why do you need to have a toolbar in the View? Toolbars are designed to be inside the Frame windows!

I am using splitted views and I want to keep options specific to a view in a toolbar assigned to it.

But you could just update an already used toolbar or replace toolbars while toggling between the splitter panes!
