Hi,

I want a window on the left side of my mainframe to put a tree control on, and I want it to be horizontally resizable (like the one you can make appear on the left of the internet explorer window). I'm making a multi-document application. Does anyone know how to do this fairly easily?

Thanks.

Well, fairly easy and anything Windows are often oxymoronic. :-)

That said, here are a few options:

1) There is a sample in the Platform SDK called EnumDesk (Enumerate Desktop)
which enumerates the elements of the Shell's namespace in the left pane and
provides detailed information in the right pane of a splitter window in the
way that the Explorer does it.

2) MFC provides a class named CSplitterWnd for MFC based applications.

3) A number of splitter implementations are found here:

4) When I needed a barebones skeleton for a splitter I started with some
code from a gent named J Brown that I found of the web but I seem to have
misplaced the link.

Regards,
Will

This is the link that I had trouble finding before:

Like all good samples, it provides all you need and nothing more.
