Disable stickers for undockable pane

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

   Hi,
I have an application that has docking panes and I want to be able to disallow docking for specific panes. I wass think of doing this when a pane is floated that pin button will act as a enable/disable docking. I think this is easy and found a sample that shows how. But, I also want stickers to NOT show when I start dragging a floated pane that has been pined (disallowed to dock). How can I do that ?
Louis.

	Sorry. I have come here not to provide a solution. But to ask you another question. How can I disable docking of certain panes? I want to keep it always floating. Regards, Gautam Jain

	For the first question, Look in XTPDockingPaneDefines.h ... it seems to have some options. xtpPaneNoCloseable, xtpPaneNoHideable,xtpPaneNoFloatable,xtpPaneNoCaption, xtpPaneHasMenuButton For the second question and possibly the first too, search for XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION in the same file. It seems you'll have to watch for these actions and act on accordingly during the XTPWM_DOCKINGPANE_NOTIFY notification.

	Here's what I am doing right now. This also answers g_j_a_i_n question. I still need a way to disable stickers, so that they don't show up for panes that cannot be docked. To prevent a pane to dock, you need the message handler: ON_MESSAGE(XTPWM_DOCKINGPANE_NOTIFY, OnDockingPaneNotify) in your message map. Then, in the handler itself you need to check for XTP_DPN_ACTION. LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { if( wParam == XTP_DPN_ACTION ) { XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lParam; //Do not allow this pane to dock if( pAction->action == xtpPaneActionDocking \|\| pAction->action == xtpPaneActionAttaching ) { int nPaneID = pAction->pPane->GetID(); if( nPaneID == MyPaneID ) { pAction->bCancel = TRUE; return TRUE; } } } }
