can shed some light on it.
I have no idea why the pointer would be NULL.
will still be pointing to that address.
Thanks Ron,
i observed something weird. i created a pointer to the toolbar and
implemented toolbar as like this
int CParentFrame::CreateAndDockToolBar(void){
DWORD dToolBarStyle;
dToolBarStyle = TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP |
CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC;
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, dToolBarStyle) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME1)){
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
RecalcLayout(TRUE);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);
return 0;
}
int CParentFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCS){
pMenu = new CMenu();
pMenu->LoadMenu("MAINMENU");
CreateClient(lpCS,pMenu->GetSubMenu(0));
//m_wndToolBar = new CToolBar();
if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||!
m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators, sizeof(indicators)/
sizeof(UINT))){
TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
// TODO: Delete these three lines if you don't want the toolbar to
// be dockable
return CreateAndDockToolBar();
}
i call CreateAndDockToolBar from OnCreate function.
when the member variable m_wndToolBar is a pointer, i created a new
CToolbar and after resizing the window, the toolbar again disappeared,
and i found that
the address of the variable was NULL.
how is that possible.
also please somebody tell me, whether this is a wrong way to create
and dock a toolbar to my application
thanks

I don't use MFC and I'm using VC++ 6, but maybe you have to handle the
WM_SIZE message.
In MFC, it would be something like an OnSize() or similar function.
You may have to manually resize and move it.
I use a Rebar that I resize every time the window is resized and the
function looks like this ...
//ghWnd is the main application's window
void MoveRebar(HWND hWnd)
{
RECT rc,rcRebar;
int x,y,cx,cy;
GetClientRect(ghWnd, &rc);
GetWindowRect(GetDlgItem(hWnd, ID_REBAR), &rcRebar);
switch(g_wSide) {
default:
case TOP:
//align the rebar along the top of the window
x = 0;
y = 0;
cx = rc.right - rc.left;
cy = rcRebar.bottom - rcRebar.top;
break;
case LEFT:
//align the rebar along the left side of the window
x = 0;
y = 0;
cx = rcRebar.right - rcRebar.left;
cy = rc.bottom - rc.top;
break;
case BOTTOM:
//align the rebar along the bottom of the window
x = 0;
y = rc.bottom - ((rcRebar.bottom - rcRebar.top));
cx = rc.right - rc.left;
cy = rcRebar.bottom - rcRebar.top;
break;
case RIGHT:
//align the coolbar along the right side of the window
x = rc.right - (rcRebar.right - rcRebar.left);
y = 0;
cx = rcRebar.right - rcRebar.left;
cy = rc.bottom - rc.top;
break;
}
MoveWindow( GetDlgItem(hWnd, ID_REBAR),
x,
y,
cx,
cy,
TRUE);
//workaround, have to maximize last toolbar else it is right justified
SendMessage(ghRebar,RB_MAXIMIZEBAND,(WPARAM)4,(LPARAM)0);
}
I hope that this give you something to work with, or that someone working
with MFC answers your post.

i have specific way to reproduce the problem.
it happens only in release mode.
the toolbar disappear when i change the size of the window to which it
has been attached.
like maximize, minimize or even change the size.
thanks

i created a win32 application
the parentframe is CMDIFrameWnd and it has a lot of CMDIChildWnd
attached to it.
i also create a toolbar resource and docked it to the main frame.
when i open the application(in release mode),
minimize or maximize or even restore, tool bar disappears. even if
try
to open a file(using CFileDialog class)
toolbar disappears.
can somebody explain why it happens and how to prevent it from
happening again
it is VC++ project created in Visual Studio 2005 or VC8
thanks
