Hi All,

In task Panel, is there some way to detect a click on a Group header? All I can see is an ItemClick event. I want to close the other groups that are open when I expand another one. The only way I have found to detect this is the wndTaskPanel_GroupExpanded event, but when I set the other groups to Expanded = False from that sub, they in turn call this same routine and it gets stuck in a recursive loop. I have implemented a workaround with a form level boolean to exit the sub at the top while this is going on, but there has to be an easier way than this. Any ideas?

There may be better events to use (I'm not sure, I don't use the TaskPanel), but you can prevent the recursion from causing problems as follows:


Static s_Changing As Boolean

If Not s_Changing Then
   s_Changing = True

   ' Change your expanded property here

   s_Changing = False
End If

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that is prtty much what I am doing now, just with a global variable instead of a static variable but works the same. Seems like a real good place for a new event (GroupClick) or a new property (ExpandSelectedGroupOnly).

CodeJock, what say you? I know it is not a sexy feature, but I think it is really needed to be able to use this control effectively.

I agree that more events are necessary - maybe you would like to start a sticky TODO list for the TaskPanel control?

To prevent recursion, you have to check the current state first.

If the current state is the correct state, don't change it to the same state again. This will call recursivly the events.

This happens not only to codejock-controls.

if mycontrols.state <> wantedstate then

mycontrols.state = wantedstate

end if

in this case, the recursion doesn't matter.
