Hi All!

I developp a new MFC application and i try to use the new MFC feature pack...
Now i've got problems with the CMFCOutlookBar. I want to add tabs into the
CMFCOutlookBar control but this tabs come from CDialog I make in the
ressource editor. Here is the piece of code:

m_studyDlg.Create(IDD_DLG_STUDY, &m_wndOutlookBar);
m_imgPropDlg.Create(IDD_DLG_IMG_PROPERTY, &m_wndOutlookBar);

CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl* pOutlookBar =
(CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl*)m_wndOutlookBar.GetUnderlyingWindow();

str.LoadString(IDS_STUDY);
pOutlookBar->AddTab(&m_studyDlg, str, -1, FALSE);

str.LoadString(IDS_IMG_PROPERTY);
pOutlookBar->AddTab(&m_imgPropDlg, str, -1, FALSE);

So this code adds my windows correctly but when I close the application and
restart, the order od the window is wrong and I've got also the wrong title
(the same for each)! Maybe a bug with the SaveState mechanism?

If I use the AddControl method like in the MFC Sample, I can't display my
CDialog windows!

Please, any ideas?

If someone is interested by this problem, I've got some solutions (after
sevral hours of search...).
First you can't directly add CDialog in a MFCOutlookBar control because
control embedded in the MFCOutlookBar must be derived from CDockablePane to
work properly.

So one solution is to create a CDialog in the ressource editor for example
and add a class with the wizard (CMyDialog) . Then create a class
CMyDockablePane derived from CDockablePane class in which you put a member
CMyDialog myDlg. You should create the dialog in the OnCreate member function
of your CMyDockablePane. Add it should work. The advantage of this method is
that you can handle your control events directly form your CMyDialog class!

Another solution is to use CPaneDialog.

Hope this helps...
