Hello,

I bring to you some suggestions (or request features) for the excellent Docking Pane product (v8.0).

1. Minimal size for the panes

Panes could have a minimal size. The splitter container would request for each panes its size by the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message and would use this information to known how it can reduce its panes. A flag at creation can indicate which information of WM_GETMINMAXINFO message will be used, i.e. XTP_MINSIZEX will allow to use the ptMinTrackSize.x value.

2. Panes cannot be dropped in one side

Actually, panes can be dropped in any sides of the application. It would be great if we can forbid (or allow) one side or one direction (horizontal or vertical) like CBRS_ALIGN_ flags for toolbars.

3. To size a container with full content

Actually, a tracker is used to size a container. It would be nice to show continually the content of the container when it is sized. This could depend on the parameter SPI_GETDRAGFULLWINDOWS (SystemParametersInfo function) and WM_SETTINGCHANGE. If not set, tracker will be used.

4. To add register functions in DockingPaneManager

LoadState and SaveState functions could be added to the DockingPaneManager class, because it use internally a DockingPaneLayout (if we don't want to use more than one layout).

 

Thanks you for your work, and sorry for my poor english.

I believe 1,3, and 4 have been added.  And I think you could probably implement 2 by testing the docing actions before the pane is docked to a particular side of an application.
