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);
