Immediate effect of SetAnimationDelay()

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

   Hello,

after a call to CXTPDockingPaneManager::SetAnimationDelay(), all the autohidden panes use the new animation times immediately, but the pinnable floating frames do not! They must be pinned and unpinned again by the user first, in order to make them use the new animation times.

This is a problem for our customers, since we offer them an on-the-fly setting for animation times, thus they expect immediate changes in all panes.

Can the floating panes forced somehow to re-initialize/refresh their animation settings?
Thanks, in advance!

	Replacing a line inside CXTPDockingPaneMiniWnd::Expand() does the trick: Instead of original m_nSlideStep = m_nStepsCount; I use now m_nSlideStep = m_nStepsCount = ResetStepsCount(); However, I handle this just as a workaround for the problem, since I need to modify XTP sources. Is there any better solution to achieve this without any changes to XTP sources? Just because for me, changing a 3rd party library is always the last option to use.
