Remarks

On creation, the CMFCAutoHideButton object is attached to a CDockablePane Class. The CDockablePane object is hidden or displayed as the user interacts with the CMFCAutoHideButton object.

By default, the framework automatically creates a CMFCAutoHideButton when the user turns on auto-hide. The framework can create an element of a custom UI class instead of the CMFCAutoHideButton class. To specify which custom UI class the framework should use, set the static member variable CMFCAutoHideBar::m_pAutoHideButtonRTS equal to the custom UI class. By default, this variable is set to CMFCAutoHideButton.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to construct a CMFCAutoHideButton object and use various methods in the CMFCAutoHideButton class. The example shows how to initialize a CMFCAutoHideButton object by using its Create method, show the associated CDockablePane class, and show the auto-hide button.

 CMFCAutoHideButton* autoHideButton = new CMFCAutoHideButton();
    CDockablePane cPane;
    // CMFCAutoHideBar* pParentBar 
    if ( !autoHideButton->Create(pParentBar, &cPane, CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT) )
    {
        return 0;
    }
    autoHideButton->ShowAttachedWindow(true);
    autoHideButton->ShowButton(true);
