6.2. CSplitterWnd FAQs
%%TODO - add lots of these, email us your toughest ones.
FYI - MFC Internals has a whole chapter devoted to this - it's my personal favorite MFC class because it has lots of interesting internals, shortcomings, odd behaviors, etc..
We wrote a DDJ article where we show how to swap the splitter from horizontal to vertical. I think the code is at http://www.ddj.com if you are interested.

UPD!! 6.2.1. How do I create non-resizable (static AND fixed) splitter bars?
See KB article Q105150 "Preventing Static Splitters from Tracking". It describes how to do this. Basically, derive a class from the CSplitterWnd and override the left button and mouse move messages: call the CWnd versions rather than CSplitterWnd versions. Finally, remove menu items that may generate ID_WINDOW_SPLIT commands.

To add to the above answer, you should also handle the WM_SETCURSOR message and just call the CWnd version so that the horizontal and vertical resize pointers are not shown.
