22.8 WM_SYSCOMMANDEX

You can use the WM_SYSCOMMANDEX message in your CView class to allow the CView to modify its docking state programmatically. The CView sends this message to its current parent frame. The following code sends a message to the view's parent frame.

using namespace nsSysCommandEx;
ScxInfo si(GetParentFrame()->m_hWnd);
si.m_dw[0]=SCXID_DOCKRIGHT;
GetParentFrame()->SendMessage(WM_SYSCOMMANDEX,
                              SCX_NEWFRAME,(LPARAM)si);

The following SCXID parameters are available and defined in <stingray-installdir>\Include\Toolkit\syscmdex.h.
