How should I add rulers to o CDockablePane? (rulers like these or these)
I found two implementations of rulers controlers on the web, but both are made with CView derived classes and, since I need the rulers to be in a dockable pane, I couldn't use neither of them.
I've heard of two "strategies" though: (1) make a special class derived from CDockablePane and then derive the controlers' class from it (very difficult to do in this case) or (2) create a CFrameWnd inside the dockable pane that would contain the controlers, what seems easy to do but could unnecessarily add complexity to the project.
What should I do? How should I do it? Is there any other option? Can anyone show me a small example of this (maybe just the important parts)?
What I have already seen:
How can I split a CDockablePane?
How can I place a MFC CFormView inside a CDockablePane?
Some other links that I'm not allowed to post here because I'm a new user.
(But CFormView is not CFrameWnd)
PS: Please, tell what I will have problems with, details, MFC peculiarities...
PS2: I don't want links to the BCGsoft's page because I belive they don't give any code, just the executables (which don't have any use for me).
Thanks
I think it is easier for you to begin with http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/187/Implementing-Rulers-inside-of-Splitter-Panes
And I had posted an answer that could be useful for you in How can I split a CDockablePane?
