Pin a pane programmatically

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

   Hi there,

I have looked through all of the documentation and I can not see a way to pin a pane using code. Is this currently possible?

(I am running version 9.81).

So I am looking to do something like:

DockingPaneManager.Panes(1).PinOpen

Or

DockingPaneManager.Panes(1).AutoHide = False

Any ideas?

	DockingPaneManager.Panes(1).Hidden = False Can't remember if this works in that old of a version, maybe time to upgrade

	Hi there, thanks for the response - it worked a treat. The only issue is it appears to steal focus. Is there any way to prevent this?

	Hi, I have a problem with this (10.3.1). I have 3 panes at left set .Hidden=True at form load. Then I have this code in Action event Select Case Action Case PaneActionExpanding DockingPaneManager.Panes(Pane.Id).Hidden = False This works so far as the expanded Pane gets pinned, but... if you unpin the Pane it seem like the panes container is left behind on the screen and if I don't close the form quickly VB6 IDE crashes after a few seconds - Run-time error '2147417848 (80010108)': Method 'Hidden' of object 'IPane' failed :-(. Another observations is that if I don't have that .Hidden = False line there and I click the pin the Pane is closed instead of pinned as if I had clicked the X button. With just 1 Pane it Exands and colapses emediately and is then dissapeared (closed), but if I add a second Pane it pinns, but then starts the problems... Another thing to think of here is if I click to expand one of my other panes, the currently expanded pane is closed as well. I guess this is something I can or even have to handle by code in the Action_Event. Regards, Joakim

	Hi, Use PaneActionExpanded instead PaneActionExpanding.
