Zorder falls to the back when pinning

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

   I know this must have been talked about before but I frankly can't find a reference to it in this search engine.

I have a fairly simple VB6 app that has runtime generated panes on top. When the user "pins" one of the panes so it doesn't roll back up and so user can float the window, the window form of that pane falls behind the rest of the app in the zorder. I've tried everything to solve this. A ref to another post is perfectly fine if this has been resolved previously. thx

	Oleg, I'll be out of town for a few days but I'll post some code when I return. I was thinking this is a common issue and had a quick fix but I'll post code if needed. Thx

	Sorry for the scribbled data. I had to hide for HIPAA. The right window behind is the one in a pane that I just pinned. It falls behind the main window controls (which are not in a pane but directly on the form).

	Hi, Catch ResizeClient event of DockingPanes and move your Client window accordingly.

	Doesn't do it. I SetFocus, ZOrder, even set a control on the form focus and it still ends up behind the host form's controls. Besides, the ResizeClient seems a bit ineffitient because I'll need to iterate through the forms to see which one I'm trying to pin up (There is no pane object that is raised with the ResizeClient). It seems to me the PaneActionPinned Action should be the one to catch this but that event never fires at all. Odd. Thanks for helping me throught this.

	Be sure you are doing this: http://codejock.com/support/articles/com/dockingpane/dp_3.asp And try using CommandBars Resize event instead.
