There has been a huge bug in this MFC function for the last decade. It shows up in applications that have many toolbars when you have some toolbars hidden and multiple rows of toolbars. It mis-calculates the number of toolbars rows and drops you toolbar in some row below where you specify. It's hugely annoying to the point of be unusable.
It would be soooo easy to fix and it's very difficult to work around.
What is it going to take for Ms to fix it Pleeeeaaase, I'm begging here. This is exactly where the bug is:
CDockBar::Insert
...
for (nPos = 0; nPos < m_arrBars.GetSize(); nPos++)
{
CControlBar* pBar = GetDockedControlBar(nPos);
if (pBar != NULL && pBar->IsVisible())
{
CRect rectBar;
pBar->GetWindowRect(&rectBar);
ScreenToClient(&rectBar);
nWidth = max(nWidth, bHorz rectBar.Size().cy : rectBar.Size().cx - 1);
if (bHorz rect.left > rectBar.left : rect.top > rectBar.top)
nPosInsAfter = nPos;
}
else // end of row because pBar == NULL
// No, this is not neccesarily the end of the row because there may be a hidden
// toolbar (!IsVisible()) in the middle of the row.
// "else" doesn't mean pBar == NULL
{
...
This is a couple of line fix and it would make toolbars work so much better.
