Maximize Floating Pane

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

   I notice there's another thread on maximizing a pane, though it seems to be talking about maximizing within the context of an SDI parent window.

It would be nice, and probably quite compatible, to allow the maximize button to show when a single pane is floating.  I've found that my users like to float windows from our app onto a secondary monitor and have expressed an interest to be able to click maximize on those to fill the other monitor with that single window.

The existing maximize button only shows up when panes are in a cascading array, I've noticed, and allow you to maximize within that region.

	Hi, If you would dock the pane to the right and set minimum size of pane it would be resized: You have to know the screen width and height of second monitor You have to have some kind of trigger when to do this, as it is now you don't have that. Maybe you could use the "pin" button to do this and you have the Action event where you set the size and dock the pane. You could have a menu item where you have a "favorites" maximize pane and dock all these panes to the right, now your maximize button does show and allows you to maximize the pane to full screen. Well, good luck

	Yeah, I was thinking that might be possible once I discovered you can add a drop-down menu, but the inherent usability problems (having two 'maximize' options) pretty much eliminate that from the running.

	Hi, It is possible to hide the maximize button in pane caption, if you want to. DockingPane.Options.ShowCaptionMaximizeButton = False
