Hi,

I have been trying to get this working but I get application errors, not always but sometimes. I see this happening once a pane is docked inside container (as tabs) dragging the pane back to another location is causing a crash. I must be doing something wrong... Please check out the code in Action event!!!

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I think Jason means docking pane on original location AFTER user floated the pane. If I'm not mistaken I replied in another thread that it isn't possible with current version...

I would like this option also and it shouldn't be to hard to implement because DP already "knows" position of panes (double clicking Pane results in docking Pane to its original location...)

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

You say you want a DockingPane to dock back to it's original position regardless of where a user tries to dock them?!

There's no point allowing a user to play around with a DockingPane if you don't allow them to place it where they want. Therefore I believe you should just remove this functionality, that way the user cannot select a DockingPane and try to move this about the screen.

The following code does just that:


Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Action(ByVal Action As XtremeDockingPane.DockingPaneAction, _
                                      ByVal pane As XtremeDockingPane.IPane, _
                                      ByVal Container As XtremeDockingPane.IPaneActionContainer, _
                                      Cancel As Boolean)
    On Error Resume Next

    If Action = PaneActionFloating Or Action = PaneActionAttaching Then
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub

Is it possible in the dockingpanemanager action event, to programmatically force a pane to dock back to it's original position?

I realize it may appear to behave oddly to the user, but people higher up then me would like the pane to dock back to the right side of the screen regardless of where the user tries to dock the pane.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jason
