I have a Vc++ application . It has 6 panes in main window .

All these panes are attached to each other . covers entire window area .

If I click on caption bar of docked panes ,It undocks them , starts showing close button on right top corner .All 6 of them still connected .

after this if i try clicking inside pane , It does not accept those clicks .

also It does not let me switch between 6 panes . when they are undocked

why ?

I was able to do this before with older version .

One thing I observed is ,After undocking panes , if I detach and move them to different location it let me click inside pane and accepts clicks.

What can be the reason Please advise.

How can I switch between 6 panes when they r connected and undocked.

Please help.

Hi;

Perhaps the mouse messages are "eaten" by another window (e.g. PreTranslateMessage). Try using Spy++ or set a breakpoint into the docking pane tab mouse message handlers. Sometimes deleting the registry entries for the docking panes help...

Oleg ,

I don't have handler for ondockingPanenotify

I just do following things

Step 1---------------------------------------------------------------------------

m_pDockingPaneManager = new CMDockingPaneManager();

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2---------------------------------------------------------------------------

m_pDockingPaneManager->InstallDockingPanes((CFrameWnd*)m_pParent);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CString strTemp;
strTemp.Format("%sRunControlLayout%s",m_strTestPath.GetDataPtr(), FILEEXT_WINDOWDIM);

  if(""==m_pDockingPaneManager->LoadLayoutFromFile(strTemp))
{   //RunControlLayout file does not found
   m_bNewLayout = true;
   //Message("\nNot Loaded from Layout file !!!\n");
}
else
{ //RunControlLayout file found
  int iPanCt = m_pDockingPaneManager->GetDockedPaneCount();
  //Total no of Panes count stored in file does not match to 6
  if(iPanCt != PANECOUNT)
  {
   //Delete currupted file
   if (CMFile::IsFileExists (strTemp))
   { //Delete file with wrong data
    DeleteFile(strTemp);
   }

     delete m_pDockingPaneManager;
    //Create temp object
    m_pDockingPaneManager = new CMDockingPaneManager();
    //Install panes
    m_pDockingPaneManager->InstallDockingPanes((CFrameWnd*)m_pParent);

m_bNewLayout = true;
}
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4

bool bRet;
if(m_bNewLayout)
{
  bRet =m_pDockingPaneManager->ConnectPanes(IDD_TRIG_CONTROL_STATUS,IDD_AutoRunStatusDlg);
  if(!bRet)
  {
   Message("CMWinRunManager :1ConnectPanes Failed\n", CMStatusMessage::MSG_INFORMATION,true);

  }
    bRet =m_pDockingPaneManager->ConnectPanes(IDD_DeviceCommControl, IDD_TRIG_CONTROL_STATUS);
  if(!bRet)
  {
   Message("CMWinRunManager :2ConnectPanes Failed\n", CMStatusMessage::MSG_INFORMATION,true);

  }
    bRet =m_pDockingPaneManager->ConnectPanes(IDD_ManualChannelsControl, IDD_DeviceCommControl);
  if(!bRet)
  {
   Message("CMWinRunManager :3ConnectPanes Failed\n", CMStatusMessage::MSG_INFORMATION,true);

  }
  bRet =m_pDockingPaneManager->ConnectPanes(IDD_HeaderAndData,IDD_ManualChannelsControl);
  if(!bRet)
  {
   Message("CMWinRunManager :4ConnectPanes Failed\n", CMStatusMessage::MSG_INFORMATION,true);

  }
  bRet =m_pDockingPaneManager->ConnectPanes(IDD_DisplayControlDlg,IDD_HeaderAndData);
  if(!bRet)
  {
   Message("CMWinRunManager :5ConnectPanes Failed\n", CMStatusMessage::MSG_INFORMATION,true);

  }

}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and Pass docking pane manager pointer to all tab classes .

CMDockingPaneManager(); class is wrapper on actual api's provided by code jock .

Do i need to have handler for ondockingPanenotify ?

Please advise
