tab workspace tooltip question v9.70 rc2

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

   In your VB6 TooltipContext sample you set a tab workspace tooltip at the creation of a new workspace child.
How can I change it when the user e.g. saves the document with another filename ?

	Hello, This isn't related at all to Tobi's question but I thought I'd try and keep all the RC2 questions grouped together. Does anyone know what the PaneHasMenuButton setting does? I've tried applying it but I can't see anything different with the panes. Does it need to have something else set as well?

	JamesH, It adds a small arrow button to the pane caption. When this button is pressed, it fires an event that has the x and y coordinates so that you can display a menu or whatever you want. There is a new MDIDocking C# sample that illustrates how to do this.

	Hello SuperMario, Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately I don't have a C# compiler installed on my main development machine so was unable to view the sample (pre-compliled samples would be nice for this reason!). I figured out what my problem was. I have a default pane layout that is saved as an XML string and I load that to setup my panes when our application starts. The problem is that configuration also includes the pane option fields. So even though I was setting the PaneHasMenuButton option when the pane was first created later when I load they layout this option is overwritten. (A tricky situation I hadn't considered when new features are added the existing user layouts will need to be updated) After I got around this problem I see the new menu icon but the event doesn't seem to be firing when I expect. My sink map entry is: SINK_ENTRY_INFO(IDC_DOCKINGPANE, __uuidof(XtremeDockingPane::_DDockingPaneEvents),/dispid/ 0x07, OnDockingPane_PopupMenu, &OnDockingPanePopuMenuInfo) Is that the event it should be firing?

	I have not used WTL, so I am not sure on the syntax. The name of the event is PanePopupMenu. I pulled this information from the .NET object browser: AxXtremeDockingPane._DDockingPaneEvents_Pane PopupMenuEvent

	Thanks SuperMario, I'll look into that. I've also reported an issue with RC1 (and RC2) to do with the active pane. I've written to 'beta@codejock.com' and sent a sample application that shows the problem. I've also entered it into the knowledgebase/help desk area on the beta site but I haven't heard from anyone. What is the correct procedure for submitting issues with the beta version? Thanks, - James

	I think it would be better to put this into Issue Track so you can upoad your file.

	Does anyone have any suggestions to my initial question ? ;-) In your VB6 TooltipContext sample you set a tab workspace tooltip at the creation of a new workspace child. How can I change it when the user e.g. saves the document with another filename ?

	Somthing like: CommandBars.TabWorkspace.Selected.ToolTip = "text"
