Pin CXTPDockingPane Programmatically

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

   Hi Everyone,
I have an SDI application with a couple of CXTPDockingPanes.  What I am trying to do is pin down a pane programmatically , when the user want's to show a the pane that has been unpinned before, the reason is I when the pane is extended out it cannot block the main view (it is showing the a video), so I need to pin it so that it will resize the main view.
I am catching the XTP_DPN_ACTION, but don't know what to do there.
Thanks
Ali Rafiee

	So far I have something working by doing this LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { .... else if (wParam == XTP_DPN_ACTION) { XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lParam; if (pAction->action == xtpPaneActionExpanded) { if (pAction->pPane->GetDockingPaneManager()->IsPaneClo sed(pAction->pPane->GetID()) \|\| pAction->pPane->GetDockingPaneManager()->IsPaneHidd en(pAction->pPane->GetID())) { m_paneManager.ToggleAutoHide(pAction ->pPane); } return TRUE; } } .... } If anyone has a better way, please let me know.

	I tried ShowPane, but it did something weird, the pane was not pinned, and it wasn't floating either, it was kinda in mid-air. Ali
