 Topic: how to get F1 help working on docking pane controlPosted: 17 September 2007 at 4:33am |

I would like to support 'F1 help' for the controls of a
docking pane (like title bar, close box or pane tabs). While context help is supported via CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer::OnHelpHitTest, F1 help seems not to be supported per se. What would be the most appropriate way to implement it? |

Hi,
You can create class derived from CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer catch OnHelpHitTest and return your values for close and caption. Now override CDockingPaneManager and add
CXTPDockingPaneBase* CDockingPaneManager::OnCreatePane(XTPDockingPaneType type, CXTPDockingPaneLayout* pLayout)
{ if (type == xtpPaneTypeTabbedContainer) return new CMyDockingPaneTabbedContainer(pLayout); return CXTPDockingPaneManager::OnCreatePane(type, pLayout);
}

Oleg,
AFAIK OnHelpHitTest is called only for context help (via CFrameWnd::OnContextHelp), it is not involved in F1 help. The command bar classes seem to implement this by remembering the selected control and then hooking the ID_HELP command message of the frame. I see no similar mechanism in the docking pane classes, though. Regards Klaus |

Hello,
Yes it will work for context help. if user press F1 instead of context help, he is waiting help for current docking pane window.
