BUG with EnableGroup in VB6

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

   Hi folks,
I am trying the sample for VB6 under Samples\CommandBars\VB\MDISample (13.3.1), when I add code: 

Workspace.EnableGroups 

after  

Set Workspace = CommandBars.ShowTabWorkspace(True) 

The new documents I create, does not function properly and neither does the Workspace tab work correctly.  When I check with C# sample, it works just fine. What may be the reason?

Thanks
Sandy

	The feature which I want to use in VB6 is described in your product preview http://codejock.com/products/commandbars/tour_60.asp?platform=com I added the Enablegroup in MDIForm_Load event of sample provided in Samples\CommandBars\VB\MDISample Private Sub MDIForm_Load() .. Set Workspace = CommandBars.ShowTabWorkspace(True) Workspace.EnableGroups .. .. End Sub The results and problems, which I get is given below 1. Title Bar starts appearing when I click File->New 2. On Selection of Document 1 Tab, the complete Tab Control vanish

	Yeah! It works just fine. Though the trick is to call the LoadDoc after all the initialization such as Skins etc. Thanks a lot for the tip SuperMario

	I think there is a problem in my understanding and I noticed another problem with the popup that appears. Lets say there are 3 Documents loaded initially. When Document 2 is dragged, the Popup menu is displayed with Option: New Horizontal Tab group, New Vertical Tab Group and Cancel. I create a Horizontal Tab group for Document 2 ------ Now when I drag, Document 3, Option displayed are: New Horizontal Tab group, Move to Next Tab Group & Cancel Actually I wanted a Vertical Tab group to be created for Document 3 which is not possible unless I bring all the documents together in Tabs, and start with New Vertical Tab Group. So, the result is, either I have all Horizontal Tab group or All vertical group. I am not sure, whether I have to do anything programatically. Till now, I have not done anything in the Code for the popup

	you can't mix them..all horizontal or all vertical....maybe you want docking panes instead

	So we can have either Hor/Ver Tab Groups. Already I am using Docking panes for some other view parts. When I see your sample application MDITabWindow I notice that I can make a window Dockable/Non Dockable from menu option. How do I achieve that for the forms. Do I have to create panes and do that or some flags need to be set?

	That sample uses docking panes, it simply removes the document from tab workspace and puts it in a docking pane.
