    Posted: 08 December 2003 at 2:42pm

Using the Pane Sample from the Xtreme Toolkit Pro 8.6, there are two layouts "editor" and "run".  As far as I can tell, these two layouts are pre-packaged and not created on the fly.

What's the best way to create layouts on the fly, instead of loading them from the registry or file.  I want to do it progromatically, but am running into some issues: If I load a layout, then call the DockPane method, I get an error.

Anyone have a good example of accomplishing this?

 

Thanks,

Tim

They are not predefined. 

Comment GetDockingPaneManager()->SetLayout(m_pEditorLayout); and you  will see it yourself.

After some digging and experimenting, I now see how the layouts are done.  One has to create the layouts by moving the panes to the desired location, then save the current position as a layout.  Then, when the program is loaded a second time, the layouts can be loaded from the registry/file/xml and not created from scratch again.

I originally was creating the layouts on the fly each time the program was loaded, and I was trying to save the last layout.  When I reran the program, I could load the last layout, but the program crashed whenever I tried to move the panes around dynamically - with DockPane or Hide, etc.

Just wish there was some documentation on this  - explaining that that is the way it should be done - though I am thankful for the sample, since that is all I had to go on.
