Locking Customization

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

       I've been trying out the activex version and I'm
wondering if there is a simple way to "disable" drag and drop
customization for both docking panels and the command bars.

    Ie a newbie user enters a screen for the first time
and starts clicking and dragging and generally mucking up a page, I'm
looking something similar to XPs toolbar or IEs bar's locked
state.  Ie, you have to go to a menu or right click to "turn on"
the docking and customization abilities.  Just trying to prevent
the "half my screen is gray" (ie dragging the windows taskbar halfway
across the screen) problem from accidentally adjusting things.

     I might be overlooking something but I can't find it in the controls.

	Maybe something like to disable moving of commandbar: Commandbars(1).EnableDocking = False Something like this to disable pane floating and closing: Pane.Options = PaneNoFloatable Or PaneNoCloseable To completely disable docking then something like this: Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Action(ByVal Action As XtremeDockingPane.DockingPaneAction, ByVal Pane As XtremeDockingPane.IPane, Cancel As Boolean) On Error Resume Next If Action = PaneActionDocking Then Cancel = True End If End Sub
