I am trying to make a MDI application with two dynamic toolbars. I did as
follows,

BOOL CTest1App::InitInstance()
{
//using *.ini to save the information
LoadStdProfileSettings();
}

class CMainFrame : public CMDIFrameWnd
{
CToolBar m_wndToolBar;
CToolBar m_wndToolBar2;
}

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |
CBRS_TOP
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1;
}

if (!m_wndToolBar2.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |
CBRS_TOP
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar2.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME2))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1;
}

m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
m_wndToolBar2.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);

DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar2, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP);

LoadBarState("ToolbarInf");
}

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
SaveBarState("ToolbarInf");

CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose();
}

When I try to run it, I can change these positions. But when I exit it and
run it again, m_wndToolBar2 is always at lept-top position.

TIA

After exiting the app, can you look in the registry and see if the saved
position looks like it corresponds with where m_wndToolbar2 was docked at?

Also, when I call DockControlBar(), I don't specify the second parameter -
AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP. Just leave it out so it defaults to 0 and see if this
makes a difference.

Thanks David.

Since I don't use SetRegistryKey() at CTest1App::InitInstance(), the
information will be saved at C:\Windows\MyApp.ini. if I use
SetRegistryKey(), Of course, I can see the information in the registry.
Unfortunately, I really don't understand the meaning written at the ini or
registry. Because I guess MSDN fails to document it clearly.

I just tried DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar2) instead of
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP). But the result is the
same.

I've been though the dock hell in the past. First thing I had learned
was something about afxres.h where:

....
#define AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR 0xE800 // main Toolbar for window
#define AFX_IDW_STATUS_BAR 0xE801 // Status bar window
#define AFX_IDW_PREVIEW_BAR 0xE802 // PrintPreview Dialog Bar
#define AFX_IDW_RESIZE_BAR 0xE803 // OLE in-place resize bar
#define AFX_IDW_REBAR 0xE804 // COMCTL32 "rebar" Bar
#define AFX_IDW_DIALOGBAR 0xE805 // CDialogBar
....

So, I define my dialog bar id's at 0xE805 + 1. And, of course, I can't:

(AFX_IDW_DIALOGBAR + 1) doesn't work so have to do them raw. And of
course they show as:

59397, 59398... in the resource view in the stead of my ids.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But, most likely, MFC and VS are
incompatible here, just plain broken.........

I have 2008 beta install on the laptop now but have not been there to
see if it is fixed, or if I still don't get it.........

The problem has been solved by Q232845 at MSDN.
