SOLVED: Maximize pane through code

 

Is it possible to maximize,minimize and pin pane with code?

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

That is not what I asked?

 

This is what I asked:

Is it possible to max-min-pin a pane? If not, you say: NO, its not possible. If YES you say: this is how ..... Or maybe yes it will be possible in version 12.0

 

 

 

I thought you would understand pin. I ment by pin: autohide.

So maximize and minimize are going to be implemented in the next version? Right on

 

Thanks

 

There was nothing wrong with your answer. I only wanted to have an answer to the other two options as well. That's all. Now I know max & min will be in the next version, I can't wait

 

 

I think maximized means when panes docked together you can maximize one of the panes and the other ones are minimized. Like this:

 

 

 

You can also size and position the pane in your code.

 

Well, I don't know what I have done but DockingPane.FindPane(1).Hide has no effect. I can however, use Pane.Close and DockingPane.ShowPane(1) to bring the pane back and it works fine. I can see no problem with doing it that way. Even with the pane closed the code inside it seems to run normally. Do you think I may have a problem doing it this way?

 

Thanks again.

 

I found the problem with the DockingPane.FindPane(1).Hide not working. I had  Pane.Options = PaneNoCloseable + PaneHasMenuButton + PaneNoHideable so I suppose it is no wonder that it wouldn't hide even from code. It does however, Close from code with PaneNoCloseable.  Anyway, I think I have that sorted out now.

 

I just need to continue to dig around in it and improve my understanding of Docking Panes.

 

I do have one anomaly that pops up from time to time. After selecting or manipulating panes etc. all of the controls suddenly become unresponsive. The pane tabs etc. still work but nothing else. But if I just click on the desktop then everything returns to normal. I must be stepping on something but I don't know what. The application I am working on is quite large and that makes some things harder to sort out.

 

Thank you both very much for being willing to help.
