How to persist CMainFrame location and size?

I have a CFrameWindowImpl<>-based window.  In my WM_CREATE handler, I
load values for the last location and size of the window and call
MoveWindow() with them.  However, when wndMain.ShowWindow( nCmdShow )
is called from Run(), WM_SIZE and WM_MOVE messages are received with
different values from the ones I set.  Are there any canonical WTL
examples of persisting window location and size?  I can set the
location and size after wndMain.ShowWindow( nCmdShow ), but I get a
quick flash of the window at the wrong size and location.

RE: How to persist CMainFrame location and size?

I restore my main window's position and size in my main module's Run method,
after calling wndMain.CreateEx and before ShowWindow.

I save the main window's position and size in the main window's OnDestroy
handler.

I use GetWindowPlacement and SetWindowPlacement and save each of the values
in the registry.

YMMV.

Re: How to persist CMainFrame location and size?

Thanks.  That works perfectly.  I find it strange that MoveWindow in
the same place (between CreateEx and ShowWindow) doesn't.  But I guess
SetWindowPlacement is a little more involved (and the canonical way to
do it).

Seems you are familiar with MFC, so you are aware that the majority 
of the docking bar stuff in MFC is part of the frame window class. 
As you note, I guess WTL doesn't have that functionality. 

There are some docking window frameworks, such as Mr. Viskoe's and 
one or two more on CodeProject. None of them handle toolbars, so I 
guess you'd have to write your own "toolbar window" and wire it up in 
one of these frameworks.

But, if all you want is a vertical toolbar, say on the left side of a 
frame window like Lotus Notes, this is what I would do...

Hi John,

       But what you refered to is not fit for my question. I've read articles under above link in

What happened when you just created the toolbar with the vertical
window that you wanted? 

There are a lot of articles concerning WTL at CodeProject, and it
seems likely that you could find what you are looking for on this page: 

http://www.codeproj ect.com/KB/ wtl/

More specifically, here are a couple of articles that deal with
toolbars:
