Dialog in a Dockingpane

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

   I'm evaluating converting a legacy SDI app to use DockingPanes.  One of the panes is a fairly complex dialog that contains several active x controls.  

I've downloaded the eval version of XtremeTools Pro, and have been busily going through the examples and documentation, as well as searching this forum.

I still have not discovered whether  a DockingPane is designed to contain complex dialogs, or would I be signing up for some complex initialization, message rounting, etc?  

Thanks for any help.

	I downloaded the eval version, and had my application and new docking dialog up and running in a matter of hours. The only real glitch was that the compiler choked on the size of the pre-compiled headers, but I quickly found the solution to that by searching the forum, and disabling inclusion of the calendar and report classes. Very nice product, guys.
