Some docking panes/layout

Hi,

At the start of my application I create 9 panes.

I have 3 mode in the application so for each mode I have a layout.

The problem is that loading layout seems to destroy some of the panes I have manually created. Under some circumstances (which ones?)

How can I prevent that the loading/use of a layout destroy the panes I have created?

Or what is the correct way to use the layouts? If I use layouts do I need to create the panes first?

Thanks for your help

Hi thanks for the quick answer,

So am I right with the following algorithm?

Function CreatePanes

  if !paneManager.FindPane(ID_1) then CreatePane(ID_1)

  if !paneManager.FindPane(ID_2) then CreatePane(ID_2)

  if !paneManager.FindPane(ID_3) then CreatePane(ID_3)

End function

And at the end of the CMainFrame::OnCreate and the end of the switch of a layout

  m_myLayoutToUse->Load(myKeyLayoutToUse) ;

  GetDockingPaneManager()->SetLayout(m_myLayoutToUse);

  CreatePanes();

Thanks a lot
