Re: Why don't my splitters appear? Naughty splitters.

I am initialising GUI components (in a CMDIFrameWnd) using the code
below.
It works fine, except that the CMDIChildWnd child frames are blank at
startup. If the user fiddles with the child windows (e.g. stretches
them) then the splitter displays immediately appear. What have I
missed in the initialisation ?

Thanks, Neil
