Regarding Width of the docking pane

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

Hi All,

I have a question regarding the width of docking panes in normal and docked states. 
If we create a docking pane with width W and dock it to left side by clicking the pin icon, it seems that the pane width gets shrunk by 4 pixels.
But once I pin the pane back by clicking on the icon again, the width will again be reset to W. Is there any way to correctly get the width of the
pane even in unpinned/docked state ? Please refer the code below:

// creation of docking pane with width = nWidth. Assume m_panemanager is of type CXTPDockingPaneManager
CXTPDockingPane* pTOCListPane = m_paneManager.CreatePane(IDR_PANE_OPTIONS, CRect(0, 0, nWidth, 0), xtpPaneDockLeft);

// before docking/unpinning if we query width using this code we get nWidth correctly
            CRect cRect(0,0,0,0);
            cRect = pTOCListPane->GetPaneWindowRect ();
            int nWidth = cRect.Width();

// but after docking/unpinning, we get width as ( nWidth - 4 )

Can any one suggest alternative to using +4 as offset.

Thanks,
Pavan
