Dockingpane hides under Ribbonbar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi there, 
I have a problem with the functionality of the dockingpane. I have created a form, loaded xcb-file to display the ribbonbar and the toolbox and placed 3 dockingpanes on the form.

When I start the application, it lookslike this:

The panes seem to ignore the toolbar.

But if I just slightly move the toolbar all the panes are recalculated and they look perfect:

If I then resize the panes, they jump into the wrong position again.

I hope someone has a solution for this.

Thanks a lot,
Frank

	Which status bar is that? If is is not the codejock one you will need this: Private Sub CommandBars_GetClientBordersWidth(Left As Long, Top As Long, Right As Long, Bottom As Long) If sbStatusBar.Visible Then Bottom = sbStatusBar.Height End If End Sub I am sure the solution i gave before is your problem to the drawing over the panes

	Hi, thanks for your help. I changed this: Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Resize() On Error Resume Next Dim Left As Long Dim Top As Long Dim Right As Long Dim Bottom As Long DockingPaneManager.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom DockingPaneManager.RecalcLayout DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars (CommandBars.GetDispatch) End Sub and now it works. The panes are where I want them to be! Great! Thanks a lot. Now I only have the problem of the missing controls of the frame in the CommandBars Section of this forum. Good day, Frank

	this is VB .Net? That is not the proper spot for DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars (CommandBars.GetDispatch), it should be set after your commandbars are loaded and before the docking panes are created.
