I am trying to make a SDI with splitters that look like this:
_____________
| | |
| |________|
| | |
| |________|
| | |
|___|________|

When I create them, I get an exception. Here is my code for creating them. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong?

m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic(this,1, 2);
m_wndSplitter2.CreateStatic(&m_wndSplitter,2, 1);
    m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0,0,RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCo llectorView),CSize(30,50),pContext);
    m_wndSplitter2.CreateView(0,0,RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataC ollectorView),CSize(30,50),pContext);
    m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0,1,RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCo llectorView),CSize(10,10),pContext);

Thanks in advance

Thanks,
Bob

Try something like this, you might have to change the classes to what you want.

BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext)
{
// create splitter window
if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic(this, 1, 2))
     return FALSE;

if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0, 1, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(1, 1), pContext))
{
    m_wndSplitter.DestroyWindow();
    return FALSE;
}

// create another splitter window inside the other
if (!m_wndSplitter2.CreateStatic(&m_wndSplitter, 3, 1, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
    m_wndSplitter.IdFromRowCol(0,1)))
{
    return FALSE;
}

if (!m_wndSplitter2.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(1, 1), pContext) ||
     !m_wndSplitter2.CreateView(1, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(1, 1), pContext) ||
     !m_wndSplitter2.CreateView(2, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(1, 1), pContext))
    return FALSE;

    return TRUE;
}

I tried your code and I still get the exception. This code works:

if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic(this, 1, 2))
        return FALSE;

if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(100, 100), pContext) ||
!m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0, 1, RUNTIME_CLASS(CDataCollectorView), CSize(100, 100), pContext))
    {
        m_wndSplitter.DestroyWindow();
        return FALSE;
    }

but if I try to add splitters, it blows up.

Thanks,

What exception do you get?

Gert,
Try this code

    if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic(this,1,2))
        return FALSE;

    if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitSDIView), CSize(100, 100), pContext))// ||
    {
        m_wndSplitter.DestroyWindow();
        return FALSE;
    }

    if (!m_wndSplitter1.CreateStatic(&m_wndSplitter, 4, 1, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER ,
        m_wndSplitter.IdFromRowCol(0,1)))
        return FALSE;

    if (!m_wndSplitter1.CreateView(0, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitSDIView), CSize(100, 100), pContext) ||
        !m_wndSplitter1.CreateView(1, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitSDIView), CSize(100, 100), pContext) ||
        !m_wndSplitter1.CreateView(2, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitSDIView), CSize(100, 100), pContext) ||
        !m_wndSplitter1.CreateView(3, 0, RUNTIME_CLASS(CSplitSDIView), CSize(100, 100), pContext))
    {
        m_wndSplitter1.DestroyWindow();
        return FALSE;
    }
    return TRUE;
