This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

A tabbed pane with the visual appearance of the Navigation Pane in Microsoft Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003. The CMFCOutlookBar object contains a CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl Class object and a series of tabs. The tabs can be either CMFCOutlookBarPane Class objects or CWnd-derived objects. To the user, the Outlook bar appears as a series of buttons and a display area. When the user clicks a button, the corresponding control or button pane is displayed.

Implementing the Outlook Bar

To use the CMFCOutlookBar control in your application, follow these steps:

Embed a CMFCOutlookBar object into the main frame window class.

class CMainFrame : public CMDIFrameWnd
 { ...
     CMFCOutlookBar         m_wndOutlookBar;
     CMFCOutlookBarPane     m_wndOutlookPane;
... };

When processing the WM_CREATE message in the main frame, call the CMFCOutlookBar::Create method to create the Outlook bar tab control.
```
m_wndOutlookBar.Create (_T("Shortcuts"), this, CRect (0, 0, 100, 100), ID_VIEW_OUTLOOKBAR, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_LEFT);
```

Obtain a pointer to the underlying CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl by using CBaseTabbedPane::GetUnderlyingWindow.

CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl* pOutlookBar = (CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl*) m_wndOutlookBar.GetUnderlyingWindow ();

Create a CMFCOutlookBarPane Class object for each tab that contains buttons.

m_wndOutlookPane.Create (&m_wndOutlookBar, AFX_DEFAULT_TOOLBAR_STYLE, ID_OUTLOOK_PANE_GENERAL, AFX_CBRS_FLOAT | AFX_CBRS_RESIZE);
// make the Outlook pane detachable (enable docking)
m_wndOutlookPane.EnableDocking (CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
// add buttons
m_wndOutlookPane.AddButton (theApp.LoadIcon (IDR_MAINFRAME), "About", ID_APP_ABOUT);
m_wndOutlookPane.AddButton (theApp.LoadIcon (IDR_CUSTOM_OPEN_ICON), "Open", ID_FILE_OPEN);

Call CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddTab to add each new tab. Set the bDetachable parameter to FALSE to make a page non-detachable. Or, use CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl::AddControl to add detachable pages.
```
pOutlookBar->AddTab (&m_wndOutlookPane, "General", (UINT) -1, TRUE); 
```
To add a CWnd-derived control (for example, CMFCShellTreeCtrl Class) as a tab, create the control and call CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddTab to add it to the Outlook bar.

Hinweis

You should use unique control IDs for each CMFCOutlookBarPane Class object and for each CWnd-derived object.

To dynamically add or delete new pages at runtime, use CMFCOutlookBar::CreateCustomPage and CMFCOutlookBar::RemoveCustomPage.

Outlook 2003 Mode

In Outlook 2003 mode, the tab buttons are positioned at the bottom of the Outlook bar pane. When there is not sufficient room to display the buttons, they are displayed as icons in a toolbar-like area along the bottom of the pane.

Use CMFCOutlookBar::SetMode2003 to enable Outlook 2003 mode. Use CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl::SetToolbarImageList to set the bitmap that contains the icons that are displayed on the bottom of the Outlook bar. The icons in the bitmap must be ordered by tab index.
