SECFrameWnd Class
class SECFrameWnd: public CFrameWnd
The SECFrameWnd class is a replacement for MFC’s CFrameWnd class.
Defined in: swinfrm.h
Comments
The creation of a CFrameWnd replacement is necessary to support the extended control bar architecture and the gradient caption feature. Building on this architecture, your application can create docking windows with capabilities comparable to those seen in the Microsoft Developer Studio. You can also give your applications the gradient caption similar to the Microsoft Word title bar. Control bars can be resized while docked, diagonally resized while floating and more. The SECFrameWnd class derives from CFrameWnd and adds the implementation details and public operations required to support these enhancements.
Since SECFrameWnd inherits the CFrameWnd interface, all occurrences of CFrameWnd in your application code can simply be replaced with SECFrameWnd. For detailed instructions on adding enhanced docking window support to your application, refer to The Extended Control Bar Architecture section of the Objective Toolkit User’s Guide.
The SECFrameWnd and SECMDIFrameWnd classes serve similar purposes they add enhanced docking window support to your application. If your application is SDI-based, you’ll need to change the base class of your application’s main frame window from CFrameWnd to SECFrameWnd. On the other hand, if your application is MDI-based, you’ll need to change the base class of your application’s main frame window from CMDIFrameWnd to SECMDIFrameWnd.
