I was writing because I was curious if there was any way to lock the order of the panes in my DockingPaneManager.  I have them locked currently so I can't drag & drop windows (as per the specs I need to do this), but I need to also make it so that they are lockable.  Is there a way to do this? and I have version 9.70... is that available in that version?

Thanks!

hI,

Afraid in 9.70 it was not available.

Which version do I need to be able to lock tab movement?

I couldn't find where you were talking about...

The only of use I can find is where it says everywhere in the code m_MTIClientWnd.SetAllowReorder( BOOL allowreorder )

How do I get access to set that?  I can't figure out how to access that method.  I've tried things similar to the samples to no avail.  Do I have to inherit something in my class?

I just need to be able to call CXTPTabManager::SetAllowReorder on my docking pane manager to disable the tab movement.

Anyone know a way to prevent tabs from being moved left & right ?  I don't want them to be reordered among other tabs.

And does anyone know a working way to get access to CXTPTabManager::SetAllowReorder() from the docking pane manager?

The tutorials use GetParent(), but that does not return anything valid.

Hmm, seems you right and there is no method instead of overriding container/catch WM_LBUTTONDOWN etc to prevent it.

For 10.2 we added simple xtpPaneActionDragging.

Okay, cool, there is a way to prevent it.  I'll just have to get our version upgraded at some point. 

so, the xtpPaneActionDragging is just for the tab sliding back & forth for the dockingpane?

Yes :)
