LoadStateFromString problem.

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

   Hello,
Here is my scenario:
A default layout string is saved into the application's resources.
When the application starts I get the string into a variable and call the following line:

DockingPane.LoadStateFromString sTmp
then I call:

DockingPane.LoadState "MySettings", App.Title, "MainWindow"

so that the user saved state takes over the default layout. Everything worked fine until my customer asked for a menu option as to restore the default layout. Here is where the problem occurs!

Calling LoadStateFromString again would NOT change the layout, while LoadState DOES,  obviously reverting the layout to the last saved.

Please note that I use AttachPane for populating my docking manager and all my panes have an ID > 0.

Any help, please ?
