CXTDockWindow and views

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


   Hi!
I'm having trouble getting my CXTDockWindow to work with a view in my SDI application. I'm using the method explained in KB 005.007 to create my frame and view. I'm sharing document between the main view and the view in my docking window. All messages gets routed correctly when the window is docked, but as soon as I "undock" the window it gets silent.
Any ideas?
- Bobo

	Hi! I have an SDI app and have views in panes. They work whether you open or close the views, etc. I stole this trick from Oleg. Below is a function to place in your mainfrm.cpp that creates a panel window based on a particular view. The view is then created and attached to your document. It will receive all your doc update messages and whatnot: FrameWnd* CMainFrame::CreateView(CRuntimeClass type) { CFrameWnd pFrame = new CFrameWnd; CCreateContext context; ::ZeroMemory(&context, sizeof(context)); context.m_pNewViewClass = type; context.m_pCurrentDoc = NULL; context.m_pCurrentFrame = GetParentFrame(); CDocManager pManager = AfxGetApp()->m_pDocManager; if (pManager != NULL) { POSITION posTemplate = pManager->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition(); if (posTemplate != NULL) { CDocTemplate pTemplate = pManager->GetNextDocTemplate(posTemplate); POSITION posDoc = pTemplate->GetFirstDocPosition(); if (posDoc != NULL) { CccAnalyzeDoc mydoc = (CccAnalyzeDoc )pTemplate->GetNextDoc(posDoc); context.m_pCurrentDoc = mydoc; if (m_doc == NULL) m_doc = mydoc; } } } pFrame->Create(NULL, NULL, WS_CHILD\|WS_VISIBLE\|WS_CLIPCHILDREN\|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, NULL, 0, &context); pFrame->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED); pFrame->GetWindow(GW_CHILD)->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_CLIEN TEDGE, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED); return pFrame; } Then, to create a view in your "onDockingPaneNotify" routine, just do: switch (pPane->GetID()) { ... case IDR_PANE_MYPANE: pPane->Attach(CreateView(RUNTIME_CLASS(myViewClass))); break; ... } Edited by ddyer
