CSplitterWnd How to hide a row

I have a splitter window 1 column and 2 rows. On specific user events I want to display 2 rows else I want to hide the bottom row.

I have tried the following, but makes no visual difference, nothing changes?

// hide bottom row pane
if( show == false && mShow == true ){
mShow = false;
pWnd->SetRowInfo(1,0,0); // hide
pWnd->RecalcLayout();
}else if( show == true && mShow == false ){
pWnd->SetRowInfo(1,400,0); // show
pWnd->RecalcLayout();
mShow = true;
}

Where pWnd is the splitter. How can i programatically hide the bottom row?

Thanks in advance.

SetRowInfo() doesn't specify the actual size, but the "idea size". It's not the same. I don't wonder you see no effect.

Maybe you can use DeleteRow() and SplitColumn() to delete and insert rows().

I dont want to delete anything only hide a row based on what the user selects elsewhere. So it needs to toggle between showing only 1 row or 2 rows.

I understand I would need to use dynamic splitters to do what you suggest but then I dont want the user to be able to split the view from the front end.

Im happy with a static, but just need to hide bottom pane. I cant believe its so difficult, always the problem with MFC.

For now I just looking for the most easy way to hide the bottom row in a two row splitter?

Show/Hide Static Panes
A static splitter with the ability to hide/show multiple columns/rows

The Show Hide static panes would seem to be the one I want, the other is too much solution.
The problem with the first example, the code is for hiding/showing columns not rows.

Im not confident in rewriting it for hiding a row? Can anyone help?

Thanks for your responses so far, I feel im getting nearer...

There is an example somewhere in the comments to this article

Yep thanks, just found it.
Just plugged it into my code and it works!!!! Yippee Yipee

Thanks.

You are welcome!

PS: some years ago I also implemented this (or similar) code to my project. ;)
