    Posted: 08 October 2008 at 2:10pm

My application has different docking pane arrangements selectable via the main menu.  When the user selects a new layout the application rearranges all the docking panes.

To arrange them, the application shows all the docking panes using ->ShowPane(), then docks them using ->DockPane(), then hides unused panes for the selected layout using ->ClosePane().

This appears to work properly but the titlebar flickers rapidly during the process and the arrangement takes approximately half a second to arrange a dozen panes or so.

Is there something I need to disable while arranging to speed this up and stop the titlebar flicker?

Use a layout instead!

This is how I do it:
 
m_pPaneLayout = m_paneManager.CreateLayout();
if (!m_pPaneLayout->Load(_T("Layout1")))
{
    m_paneManager.CloseAll();
 
    pPane3->SetEnabled(xtpPaneDisabled);
    pPane4->SetEnabled(xtpPaneDisabled);
 
    m_paneManager.ShowPane(pPane1, FALSE);
    m_paneManager.ShowPane(pPane2, FALSE);
    
    pPane1->SetEnabled(xtpPaneEnabled);
    pPane2->SetEnabled(xtpPaneEnabled);
   
    m_paneManager.GetLayout(m_pPaneLayout);
}
