Docking Panes on any window frame

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

I have written an application which uses two monitors. Each monitor contains a maximised frame. Each frame has a set of docking panes. I have incorporated the stickers and functionality to allow the user to dock a pane anywhere in a frame. What I would like to do next is to provide a facility of allowing the user to drag the docking pane from one screen and dock it to another frame. I am assuming that I need to detect that a Drag Enter has been received by the frame, is this the right way to proceed or does the toolkit provide a better way?
Regards

	Hi, DockingPane doesn't support multi frame, but you can try to extend it. Try to override CXTPDockingPaneContext, its Track, FindContainer, etc and apply it: m_paneManager.SetDockingContext(new MyDockingContext());

	Keith : If you have had any luck in extending functionality to multi frame docking I would very much like to know how it�s done! Oleg: Any plans to include multi frame docking support in the future? And have you ever tried successfully to extend the toolkit to multi frame? Our project is now being updated to XT Toolkit version 11.2.1 and we need multi frame docking as the previous version of our software supports this. Help is much appreciated!
