Pane capabilities

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

I can make the pane not dock on left or right, so it can only be on top and bottom...

Can I prevent the pane from being resized vertically? Both floating and
docked I want it a fixed size, but when floating you can shrink it
horizonally.

Can I have the pane drag around like a normal window instead of an
outline?  The outline blends in too well with the MDI client
background and you can't see the outline dragging.

	As far as I can tell, I can't make the pane have a size restriction without rewriting parts of the codejock source. I tried subclasses and other methods but nothing worked. It looks like CXTPDockingPaneMiniWnd needs to be extended to catch WM_GETMINMAXINFO for when the window is floating and then also when docked the splitter needs to obey the same sizes or disable the splitter on a pane by pane basis if the min size = max size.

	I think maybe the feature added 9.51 might work for you. Take a look at the PaneSample. Run the application and select Docking Pane-> Min Max Sample from the menubar. When the pane is floating you can specify that its min and max width be the same, thus it can not be resized.
