Pane shadow size

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

   Hi All, 

Does anyone know how to control the size of the shadow (and subsequently the size of the pane when it is docked)?  I have some fairly small panes that when I grab them to move somewhere else on the screen, the shadow that shows where it will dock and how big it will be is huge.  Sometimes nearly 3/4 of the screen.  I am sure it has something to do with the way I set of the pane to begin with, but can't put my finger one what it controls.

Thanks,
Melvyn

	Hi, When you create a pane like: DockingPaneMain.CreatePane(1, 300, 300, DockRightOf, Nothing) cx & cy will be used to size the pane to those measures. If you would create other panes, DockingPane control will resize the previous panes because it wants to fit the panes into the size of the form or container. If you drag a pane outside the container the cx & cy of that pane are used to create the floating pane. I guess you have a large cx / cy when creating the pane.

	Thanks Aaron. I think I am actually making them very small when I create, but I think I am setting them very large when I resize for some reason. In any case your post has gotten me on the right track. Thanks. -Melvyn
