The problem is with Focus. The MDIChild doesn't have any control on it. VB wants a control on the MDIChild, it needs some control on it to have focus. This is just a bug in VB.

So it would be better to move your Frame over to Form1 and remove Form2.

Actually, I would like it to just kinda be the background of the mdi parent and automatically be visible when no other mdi children are open.]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:35:07 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9586&PID=31202&title=dropdown-not-staying-dropped#31202 <![CDATA[Dropdown not staying dropped : Hi, Are you going to build a...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9586&PID=31200&title=dropdown-not-staying-dropped#31200 Author: Aaron

Hi,

Are you going to build a MDI application? There's a MDI sample present, you better take a look at that and post a little here and there, pulling out hair, but there's an example present

Hi,

Do you want to close the pane? or temporary hide the pane?

You can auto hide the pane by docking it and clicking on the pin button

Close the pane like this:

Dim pan As XtremeDockingPane.Pane
Set pan = MDIForm1.DockingPane1.FindPane(1) ''ID of pane
pan.Close

Cool. Now the curveball. Let's say I have a button on Form2 that just loads and shows form1. How do I make the pane go to the background? As it is now, Form2 loads and shows but it "shows" behind the pane and I can't see Form2.

Sorry for all the questions but I appreciate the help!

Hi,

It's a little difficult to explain. But I will give it a try.

The container for your app is the MDIForm and the dockingpane will be the container for all the attached panes, right? So you have to place the Dockingpane in the MDIForm and attach the form that you need into a pane, which DockingPane will resize into you MDIForm the proper way. Not in a way you did.

Put this in your MDIForm code and drag a DockingPane on the MDIForm

I copied your code into the MDIForm and the only thing I changed was the Load event in MDIForm

Option Explicit

Private Sub DockingPane1_AttachPane(ByVal Item As XtremeDockingPane.IPane)

    Dim frmForm2 As Form2
    Set frmForm2 = New Form2
    Item.Handle = frmForm2.hWnd

End Sub

Private Sub CreateDashboard()

    Dim paneForm2 As Pane

    Set paneForm2 = DockingPane1.CreatePane(1, 100, 100, DockTopOf, Nothing)
    paneForm2.Title = "Messages"
    ''paneForm2.Options = PaneNoFloatable + PaneNoCloseable + PaneNoHideable

    DockingPane1.VisualTheme = ThemeOffice2007
    DockingPane1.Options.HideClient = True

    DockingPane1.TabPaintManager.ClientFrame = xtpTabFrameNone

End Sub

Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
Call CreateDashboard
End Sub

This will show a pane with the combobox on it and this combobox drops down as we want to.

And another thing: set MDIChild to false

And clear all code in Form1

Hi,

No can't reproduce it, but I would like to know the code you use to attach the pane to that form. Can you send me the form and the few lines of code you use to attach the pane? doesn't matter anymore, now Super Mario comes in action

As a test I used the SDI Docking Pane sample and added both MS and Codejock checkbox and dropdown controls to the form. Both seem to work. Can you reproduce it with a Codejock sample? If so, can you attach it here?]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:21:35 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9586&PID=31194&title=dropdown-not-staying-dropped#31194 <![CDATA[Dropdown not staying dropped : Hi, If you load the form without...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9586&PID=31191&title=dropdown-not-staying-dropped#31191 Author: Aaron

Hi,

If you load the form without attaching it to a pane, what happens then? Does it work correctly? Yes? and how do you attach the form to the pane?
