Tab Item Screen Rect

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

   Hello,

For docking panes, is it possible to get the individual tab item screen rectangle? I need the item screen rectangle or more precise, an anchor point in order to popup a balloon help next to tab item in certain situations, when data is available for viewing but the pane is collapsed.

Thank you,

	Hi, get CXTPDockingPane pointer, get its parent as tabbed container: CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer* pParent = (CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer)pPane->GetContainer(), find corresponded tab: CXTPTabManagerItem GetPaneTab(CXTPDockingPane* pPane) const { for (int i = 0; i < pContainer->GetItemCount(); i++) { if (pContainer->GetItemPane(i) == pPane) return GetItem(i); } return NULL; } get rect using pItem->GetRect();

	Hi Oleg, I have followed your suggestion: CXTPDockingPane* pPane = m_paneManager.FindPane(IDR_...); CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer* pContainer = (CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer*)pPane->GetContainer(); The problem now is pContainer->GetItemCount() returns 0, although the tab item is available. Thanks for your help,

	Hi, Sorry, didn't notice that you need tab when pane is hidden. please add additional method in sources and rebuild library (we will add it also) in XTPDockingPaneAutoHidePanel.cpp: CXTPTabManagerItem* CXTPDockingPaneAutoHidePanel::GetPaneTab(CXTPDockingPane* pPane) const { for (int i = 0; i < m_pTabManagers->GetSize(); i++) { CAutoHidePanelTabManager* pTabManager = m_pTabManagers->GetAt(i); for (int j = 0; j < pTabManager->GetItemCount(); j++) { CXTPTabManagerItem* pItem = pTabManager->GetItem(j); if ((CXTPDockingPane)pItem->GetData() == pPane) { return pItem; } } } return NULL; } now in you application use this code: CXTPDockingPane pPane = m_paneManager.FindPane(ID_VIEW_SOLUTIONEXPLORER); if (pPane && pPane->IsHidden()) { CXTPDockingPaneAutoHidePanel* pAutoHideContainer = (CXTPDockingPaneAutoHidePanel)(pPane->GetContainer()->GetContainer()); CXTPTabManagerItem pItem = pAutoHideContainer->GetPaneTab(pPane); if (pItem) { CRect rc = pItem->GetRect(); pAutoHideContainer->ClientToScreen(rc); } }
