How to create a dockable form?

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

   Hi all,
I want to create a dockable form like CFormView or CDialogBar. I have tried to create a CDialogView inside a CXTDockWindow derived class, but the dialogbar does not apear in the docking window. Looking in Spy++ tells the dialog has been created and WS_VISIBLE flag is set, but it is not on the sreen. 

I used:- m_dlgDialogBar.Create(this, IDD_MYDIALOG, CBRS_LEFT | CBRS_TOOLTIPS, 59605);
What I have to do to get my dialog inside the docking window? Has someone sample code?
Best regards from sunny south Wales! 
Thomas

	First,you should insert a dialog ,then set the dialog's style to "child",then add a class(base class:CFormView),for example CMyDialogView! Second,attach the FormView to your dockpane! LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { if (wParam == XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW)//如果pane是显 1034;状态的话 { // get a pointer to the docking pane being shown. CXTPDockingPane* pPane = (CXTPDockingPane*)lParam;//获取lParam if (!pPane->IsValid()) { switch( pPane->GetID() ) { case 1: { pPane->AttachView(this,RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyDialogViewl),0); } break; } } return TRUE; // handled } return FALSE; }

	Hi, Thank you, but I have just Xtreme Toolkit Standart edition and it seams to me that CXTPDockingPane class ist not included there. Also there is no AttachView method in CXTDockWindow class, but I have just found something similar called SetChild method. I will try this out! But thank you anyway for your help!!! Regards, Thomas

	Okay I have it! It was working from the beginning and Spy++ was right:- It was visible! I simple didn't see it because my dialog was outside the docking frame area and therefore unvisible. Some how I was expecting it maped to the client area because of the create method which takes a pointer to the parent as argument. Sometimes it is soooooooo simple that you can not see it!
