Geoff,

Ok, but we can do one of two things: we can add my background stuff to
your split window or I can add the window sizing stuff to mine. You have
all my class source code. Don't you have Fab's? I don't use his classes
but I am sure all the details are there somewhere. The other thing is,
you don't need a dialog to hold the fab bar. Put the fab bar directly on
the left pane. However...

The problem you are coming up against is an old one and now,
unfortunately, is doomed never to be fixed. The SplitWindow class is
problematic and messaging and child window control still quite poor.
That is why many of us built our own customisations. Check out SQL
Master - that uses my mods. The trick you need to do is to combine my
changes and Fab's changes into one package.

Geoff

Hi Geoff, I'm using Faboutlookbar and FabSplitshell. Works as expected
for me. When maximimizing a datawindow, the caption of the datawindow is
added (in rectangular brackets) to the caption of the shellwindow.
The caption bar of the datawindow disappears of cours; but grey
min/max/close buttons are added just below those of the shellwindow.
I guess all this this is standard VO behaviour: the VO-IDE is showing
exactly the same behaviour.

Yes, looks like I just change the Fab Control ti Inherit from Geoff's
ShellWindow and it seems to have everything I need.
