I said place that code in the CommandBars_GetClientBordersWidth, notthe DockingPanes one.  If both DP andCB are used, only the CBversion is called. ]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2004 11:05:12 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1171&PID=3108&title=docking-panes-and-standard-statusbar#3108 <![CDATA[Docking Panes and standard StatusBar : Thanks for your fast reply.I&#039;ve...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1171&PID=3107&title=docking-panes-and-standard-statusbar#3107 Author: Metodo_Sviluppo

Thanks for your fast reply.
I've missed the GetClientBordersWidth event, but when i insert it, nothing changed

I've uploaded a project to show the problem. In this project the event GetClientBordersWidth is not triggered (?!?) so the statusbar remains over the dockingpane.

What i'm doing wrong?

Thanks for help.2004-09-13_105926_StatusBarProblem.zip

A couple of things to try:
    Right-click on the DockingPane control on your form and select "Send-To-Back"

Make sure this code is included:  
    DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars Me.CommandBars

Make sure you account for the VB statusbar height, add this to the CommandBars_GetClientBordersWidth event:
    If sbStatusBar.Visible Then
        Bottom = sbStatusBar.Height
    End If

I'm using Docking Pane ActiveX in a MDI form that has a standard mscomctl statusbar control (i'm using this since the StatusBar provided by the commandbars control is very limited and not suitable for the information i have to display in my application).

If i create a pane and dock it at the bottom of the form, the pane title when in autohide state is below the statusbar control and i can't read the title or position the mouse to show the pane.
Docking the pane on the left or right of the form causes the pane to "override" the statusbar, and the statusbar itself seems attached to the pane and resized with it   

This problem does not occur in a standard or SDI form (like the Office2003 GUI sample where there are both the docking pane and the statusbar on the SDI form.) where the docking of the pane does not cover the statusbar.

Is there a way to use the dockingpane with other controls docked to the bottom of a MDI form?

Thanks for help.
