SDI + Window selector = weird

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

   I have an SDI-application where only panes are being used. Hence, no documents/views! When I press Ctrl+Tab I get this weird entry under "Active Files". Why show the frame name there?

The code that causes this lies in CXTPDockingPaneWindowSelect::Reposition():

else if (!hWndClient)
{
    CItem* pItem = new CItem;
    pItem->hWndFrame = m_pManager->GetSite()->GetSafeHwnd();
    pItem->type = itemSDIFrame;
    pItem->rc = CRect(x, y, x + nItemWidth, y + nItemHeight);
    pItem->nIndex = (int)m_arrItems.Add(pItem);
    pItem->nColumn = nColumn;
    pItem->nRow = nRow;
    if (m_pSelected == NULL)
        m_pSelected = pItem;
    m_nFirstFile++;
}

Q:
To me, this looks like a bug. Why would you want to show the CMainFrame when selecting window in an SDI? In any case, it should be possible to disable this!

Perhaps HideClient(TRUE) should also hide it from the window selector?

	Very much agreed. It might have a use when HideClient(FALSE) (to set focus to the client window), but has none when HideClient(TRUE), and looks particularly strange.

	Oleg, what do you suggest for this? Shouldn't the whole else-statement be removed?

	Hello, Agree. If HideClient is TRUE, ActiveFiles will be removed. Thanks.
