Hi,

If I have too many panes docked to the bottom of my MDI application then there isn't enough room to draw all the text and I just lose text and / or panes.

Is there an intelligent solution built into the pane manager when takes care of this situation?

Hi,
You can change layout from xtpTabLayoutSizeToFit to xtpTabLayoutAutoSize. it will add scroll buttons. 
 
See TabManager sample.

Hi - having a brain problem here. Exactly how should I set this? I have tried

m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize);

without success. Must I call something afterwards?

False alarm - I see it's in the Tab Manager sample - will look further after I take the dog for a walk.

Hi,
 
Yes, m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize);
must work... Just be sure you call it after you set theme for dockingpanes.

Somehow the layout is being ignored :-(

OK - I see why it works in the TabManager example, this is because you have just one group - you specify the neighbour when creating the panes, I don't.

So - how do I dynamically add my panes into the single group? I have maybe 12 different panes, created on demand, not st startup.

For the CreatePane function I need to specify a neighbour, currently I enter NULL.

Does this make sense? I have modified the TabManager example so that this doesn't work - simply by not supplying the neighbour argument and not using AttachPane().

How do I find the value to use as the neighbour?

---

Or - here's what I really want - I have all my panes which the user can hide as required.

Try modifying the TabManager code:

    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane1 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE1, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane2 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE2, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane3 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE3, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
//    m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane2, pwndPane1);
//    m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane3, pwndPane1);

Hide these - then try getting the tabs Compressed - or getting any layout style applied :-(

Hi,

Has there been any news on this subject?

We would also like to have tabs in AutoHide panel scrollable.

Regards,
Dmitry
