Hi,

I have a splitter window consiting of two list views that divide my window
equaly (top/bottom), and the split can be adjusted verticaly.
Can any one tell me how I can add a tab control to the top of my splitter
window?

I have tried the following approaches so far:
1) I specified a third pain at the top of my splitter window but I could not
prevent the user from resizing this pain.
2) I tried to put the splitter into a child window (CWnd) so that I could
fix the possition of the splitter, I ended up with a screen that didnt
refresh properly.
2) I tried to resize the CListCtrl element of the CListView window in the
top pain so that I could insert the tab control into the top of the
CListView but this did not have any effect

One way would be to use a CDialogBar with a tab control on it.  This
would give you a fixed-height area at the top, above and outside of the
splitter.

Another way would be to use the three-pane splitter that you tried.  To
disable the resizing you would derive your own class from CSplitterWnd
and handle the mouse messages and WM_SETCURSOR message.  In these
message handlers you call the base class only when you want to permit
resizing.  You can make the top pane a fixed size by handling WM_SIZE in
your derived splitter.  In the handler you call GetRowInfo, modify the
height, call SetRowInfo and call RecalcLayout.
