Attaching pane causes form view paint problems!

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

   I have an MDI application where all views are held by a  CXTPTabClientWnd variable. In one of my form views I have a auto-hiding pane placed at the top of the frame. If I attach it, the whole view gets repainted incorrectly.

I have to minimize the window and then maximize it again to get back my controls in their original shape. I have a similar pane in a calendar view, but the calendar seems to understand that it should repaint itself.

I have tried this inside my docking notification handler:
if (wParam == XTP_DPN_ACTION)
{
    XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lParam;
    if (pAction->action == xtpPaneActionAttached)
        GetActiveView()->Invalidate();
}

I have also been playing with the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS and WS_CLIPCHILDREN styles, with no success. What is causing this redraw problem?

Please help!

	The project found at the address below has three problems: 1) It paints incorrectly when the pane is attached (see attached screenshot). 2) The auto-resizing controls do not behave correctly when the window is being resized in certain ways (see attached screenshot). 3) I get a lot of warnings when compiling. Where should I turn these off (I do not always want to ignore C4244)? http://www.bostream.nu/krisse/Codejock-problem.zip If you have time, then I wonder another thing too: How do I attach a CXTPToolBar to the left of a specific view? That is, it should only appear when, say CMyViewWithAMenu is active. There is no sample showing this, and I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish it. Thanks in advance!

	ps. About warning - use search in forum, or update sources to 10.3 About toolbar - see GUI_Whidbey sample.

	Thank you very much! All problems solved! \o/ Though, I wonder about this call: SetScaleToFitSize(CSize(1, 1)). All controls are placed correctly, but they can be resized to non-visible. How would you make the controls "grow, but not shrink more than (cx, cy)"? Is the only way to handle OnGetMinMaxInfo in the main frame?

	Hi again! I played a bit with the Whidbey sample, and it suffers the same problem I have encountered: The menus loaded elsewhere than in CMainFrame are not dockable and cannot be placed vertically. // This is a modified version of the CPropertiesPane in the Whidbey sample int CPropertiesPane::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar(WS_TABSTOP\|WS_VISIBLE\|WS_CHILD\|CBRS_TOOLTIPS \| CBRS_LEFT \| CBRS_GRIPPER, this)); // CBRS_LEFT does not help! VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_PANE_PROPERTIES)); ... } What I want to do is to add a toolbar to the left, INSIDE ONE of my views. I do not want it to be visible in other views. Can it be done?
