MFC How to enable docking for a status bar?

Question

I created the status bar CStatusBar statusBar; in the class CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd class and I am doing that:

if (!statusBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_AUTOSIZE, WS_CHILD | CBRS_TOP | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_GRIPPER) ||
    !statusBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR))
{
  return -1;
}

if (!statusBar.CreateEx(this, SBARS_TOOLTIPS, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_BOTTOM | CBRS_GRIPPER))
{
  return -1;
}
statusBar.SetIndicators(indicators, sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT));

// and then trying:

  statusBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM); // here I recieve an assertion

  EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM);
  DockControlBar(&statusBar);

What is the wrong here (Almost the same behaviour works for tool bar)? And Is it possible to make a status bar with enabled docking ?

I beelieve it is possible cause I have this in the picture:

UPD

It is what I have in the code :

    if (!m_wndStatusBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_BOTTOM | CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC))
    {
        TRACE0("Не удалось создать строку состояния\n");
        return -1;
    }
    m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators, sizeof(indicators) / sizeof(UINT));

    // TODO: 
  m_wndStatusBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
  EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
  DockControlBar(&m_wndStatusBar);

And I still recieve an assertion that are becomes only when I add DockControlBar(&m_wndStatusBar);. without this is don't work too, and I think it is normal but why it is don't work with it?

Wow is that a bad edit. You just changed your question 100%. Instead, *ask a new question!*. Rolling back to previous edit. — crashmstr, Mar 02 '16 at 18:46

Your statusBar is created twice. Second time without any resource. Remove the second CreateEx, it should work without any problem.
