Is there a way to get the properties of the Active Pane.

On moving Panes to different locations, I need the left,top so I can place controls to the new location the pane has moved to.

I am using VB.

Thanks

shaheen,

You don't need the properties of the pane to do this. You just tell the pane which form to hook to with the .Handle property and the pane takes care of the rest.

So, the only thing you need to worry about is placing controls on your form like you normaly would. No matter where a pane is moved to, the left and top properties of the form  never change. Most of the time these properties will be 0,0.

Good Luck.

I am using Panes to organize Frames on the same form.

My third party control moves dynamically based on the text box that has focus.I get the left,top of the frame to set the focus of the control. If I move the pane/frame, I need to get the new location so the control can move accordingly.Is this possible

I used GetClientRect but it does not give me the right coord

Thanks

shaheen,

Sorry I couldn't help you. I don't know if these properties are available or not. It still seems to me though, that the left and top properties you need would be relevant to the container (form) and it's controls rather than the screen. Are you using a form for your container (the .Handle property)?

good luck

I am using the Frame.Handle as my container.

What I need is the left , top of the container and its new values when the container is moved

 

Thanks for your help

shaheen,

1. When I use a frame for my container, passing Frame.Handle, my left and top property never change. They are always 0,0 unless the pane is docked, then 0,300 (300 units for the titlebar).

2. If Oleg or someone from Codejock doesn't have a better answer for you, you could try subclassing. Take a look at http://www.vb-helper.com/tutorial_subclassing.html for starters. I don't know what your skill level is, but I would recommend saving your work often when subclassing.

Good luck!
