Creating panel dynamically (& OcxState)

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

   I want to create Dockable Panels dynamically in code from a factory class, and then pass the objects to the UI when needed.  So I tried copying some of the code that was normally generated when the control is dragged into a UI form.  That approach isn't working yet.

Does anyone have experience creating Dockable panels completely in a separate .NET class, or perhaps have sample code?

One thought I have is that there is an undocumented property in AxXtremeDockingPane.AxDockingPane called "OcxState" that shows up in a form when the control is dragged in.  The normal code generated is this ...

DockingPaneManager.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)(resources.GetObject("DockingPaneManager.OcxState")));

I plugged this code into the separate class, but the debugger stops at this line, saying that an object reference is not set to an instance of an object.  

I'm not sure what needs to be instantiated here.  Any suggestions?
