Example

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve a pointer to a CMFCDropDownFrame object from a CFrameWnd class, and how to set the child drop-down toolbar window to be destroyed automatically.

    CFrameWnd* pTopFrame = AFXGetParentFrame(this);
    if (pTopFrame == NULL)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }

    CMFCDropDownFrame* pDropFrame = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMFCDropDownFrame, pTopFrame);
    pDropFrame->SetAutoDestroy(true);
