Make undockable

[Oleksii]

I want to dock CDialogBar to the top of window in the code, and after that how can I make it impossible to dock-undock it with the mouse when app is running?

When I write

DlgBar->EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);
MainFrame->DockControlBar(DlgBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP);
DlgBar->EnableDocking(0);

It is placed at the top, as I wanted, but I can undock it with the mouse, and after that it can't dock to any side. How can I prevent it from being undocked?

Just create it using CBRS_TOP style.

   DWORD dwStyle =  WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP;
   VERIFY(m_dialogBar.Create(this, IDD_DIALOGBAR, dwStyle, AFX_IDW_DIALOGBAR));

No further other call.

And if I want to have several CControlBars in my Frame, and other ones I docked to the top, if I create DialogBar this way, it is always below docked one, how can I make it to be on the very top?

Did you try CFrameWnd::DockControlBar?

Did you try CFrameWnd::DockControlBar?

Yes, it is shown in the first post.

I describe the problem again:
I have several CControlBars. All of them must bu on the top of my frame. And first from the top must be CDialogBar, but that CDialogBar must be undockable. The other CControlBars I dock to the window with DockControlBar, and if I use DockControlBar to my CDialogBar control, it can be undocked with mouse, So the question is still the same - how can it be prevented to be undocked

I meant, did you try to use the third parameter of DockControlBar?
