Hi
 
I have a GUI (DevStudio like) and have docking panes in the application. I am saving the layout of the panes to an XML file.
 
My product is being used at the moment, but I want to add a new pane, if i do none of my users can view it unless they delete the settings.xml file.
 
How do I get my new pane to be added and still maintain the layout and settings of the rest of the app?
 
Basically in MainFrm I:
 CXTPDockingPane *pwndProject = m_paneManager.CreatePane( ID_PANE_PROJECT, CRect(0, 0, 300, 150), xtpPaneDockLeft );
 CXTPDockingPane *pwndEditedFiles = m_paneManager.CreatePane( ID_PANE_EDITED_FILES, CRect(0, 0, 200, 150), xtpPaneDockRight );
 GetDockingPaneManager()->AttachPane( pwndEditedFiles, pwndProject );


...


 


 CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px( TRUE, 0, _T("Settings") );
 if( px.LoadFromFile( GetAppDataLocation( AfxGetApp()->m_pszRegistryKey, AfxGetApp()->m_pszAppName, _T("Settings.xml") ) ) )
 {
 CXTPPropExchangeSection pxDockingPane(px.GetSection(_T("DockingPane")));
 m_paneManager.DoPropExchange(&pxDockingPane);
}
 
As you can see, I create my panes and then i load up my layout from an existing settings file ... but the settings file knows nothing about this new pane (ID_PANE_EDITED_FILES) so it doesnt get added.
 
I can use m_paneManager.ShowPane( ID_PANE_EDITED_FILES ); to show the pane after loading the layout, but i cant use this all the time as it may be purposefully hidden by the user later on and doing this will keep showing it.
 
I also added a menu command to view the pane but that doesnt appear either.
 
Help, can you give me a solution, thanks.

Hi,
 
Check number of panes after you load layout:
 
m_paneManager.GetPaneList().GetSize() and if it was "1" call m_paneManager.CreatePane again.

Thanks Oleg
 
Its GetCount (for others reading this post, not GetSize).
 
Thanks a lot for this, I basically added this as per your suggestion and it works great:


// Create my panes


...


 


// Load my layout


....


 


// Check I have the right number of panes, if not, create my new ones


 if( m_paneManager.GetPaneList().GetCount() == 1 )
 {
  CXTPDockingPane *pProjectPane = m_paneManager.FindPane( ID_PANE_PROJECT );
  ASSERT( pProjectPane );


 


 CXTPDockingPane *pwndEditedFiles = m_paneManager.CreatePane( ID_PANE_EDITED_FILES, CRect(0, 0, 200, 150), xtpPaneDockRight );
  m_paneManager.AttachPane( pwndEditedFiles, pProjectPane );


}
 
Thanks again Oleg, you have saved me yet again :-)

No. GetPaneList().GetCount() must return number of created panes - no metter they was hidden or closed.
 
Don't call AttachPane if you create it after you load layout. Neighbour pane can be closed or hiddne.

PX_Int(&px, "VersionInfo", m_nVersion, 0);

Oops, you got in there whilst i was editing/correcting my original post (darn, no nothing makes sense to others) ... sorry.

 
Is this not okay as I want it to appear next to my Project Pane if its there?


  CXTPDockingPane *pProjectPane = m_paneManager.FindPane( ID_PANE_PROJECT );
  ASSERT( pProjectPane );


  CXTPDockingPane *pwndEditedFiles = m_paneManager.CreatePane( ID_PANE_EDITED_FILES, CRect(0, 0, 200, 150), xtpPaneDockRight );
  if( pProjectPane && !pProjectPane->IsHidden() && !pProjectPane->IsClosed() )
   m_paneManager.AttachPane( pwndEditedFiles, pProjectPane );

Thats what I need isnt it, I want to only create the pane if its the total count available ... otherwise they could close it, re open the app and it would re-add it again.
