Splitter Window - SDI Aplication

Splitter Window

The panes in a static splitter window are only activated when the left mousebutton is clicked on the particular view. The menu items and toolbar buttons gets activated only when the particular view to which they are associated is in focus. How can the menu items and toolbar buttons of a particular view be activated even when that view is not having the focus.

If in a static splitter window with two panes a change in one view should cause an event to occur in the second view .How to communicate a changefrom one view to another.
Thanks

If you see the CFrameWnd::OnCmdMsg at winfrm.cpp, the frame only send the messgae to activeView. So you can overrid this function on derived frame window, than send all message to it's child view

CMyChildFrame::OnCmdMsg(.....)
{
CChildView *pView;
while(pView = GetChildView(...))
{

}
