How do I retrieve Pane Size?

Hi I am using the v9.51 ActiveX version of the DockingPane under VB6/SP6.

QUESTION: Is there a way to retrieve a pane's current size (e.g. Pane.Height, Pane.Width)?

NOTE: I already reviewed topic "Topic: pane width/resize" but this specific question was not answered.

I didn't see this property available but wanted to ensure I wasn't missing the obvious.

This feature is important because I need to save/restore this information dynamically as the user hides and shows panes. If there is a suggested workaround, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Thanks SuperMario,

I will try this. Does this imply that I can force the pane's width/height by seting the form's relative properties?

First, let me reiterate my strong request to add get/set Pane.Height and Pane.Width to the next build because these workarounds are inconvenient.

QUESTION: How is CX used by CreatePane to accurately set the pane size? The meat behind my question follows.

Regarding the workaround for getting a pane's current height/width, I tried the workaround of getting the form's size and storing that so that I can use those values when loading a pane. However, I can't find the correlation between the coordinates used during CREATEPANE and the form's width.

For example.

(a) I ensured that the DockingPane and the pane's form are both set to the same ScaleMode.
(b) I then tried storing the form's Width and using that as the CX parm of CreatePane but CreatePane doesn't come close to using the saved size that the form used.

I tried the following combinations:
(a) Saving the Form's Width but CreatePane makes the pane super wide.
(b) Changing the Form's scalemode to vbPixel and saving the ScaleWidth. However, this results in a pane roughly double the expected size.

Note, it doesn't seem to matter what my DockingPane.ScaleMode is set to, because CreatePane's CX value doesn't seem to represented in a calculation that I can set/restore accurately relative to the contained form's size.

Thanks!
