Hi ,

My application is creating 6 panes following this procedure .

1. Create new Dialog box object

2. Create new Dialog box

3. Use Dialog box id in create Pane function

It creates 6 panes following the same procedure ...After this it attaches all panes .

1. m_pControlDlg = new CMControlDlg(m_pSetupAutoRun, m_pStatusMessage, m_pParent);

2. m_pControlDlg ->Create(IDD_AutoRunStatusDlg,

    //dock autorun status dlg
3.    bRet = m_pDockingPaneManager->CreatePane(IDD_AutoRunStatusDlg, rectDialog,MdockBottomOf);

When I undock this 6 pane container It doesnot let me switch between panes . It locks up .

Do you think It is happening because of above wany of creating panes?

I don't know if this is the best way, but I use CFormView for dialogs in panes.

I create the pane in OnCreate:

CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane =
    m_paneManager.CreatePane(IDR_PANE_FIND, CRect(0, 0,100, 100),
xtpPaneDockLeft);

I create the form view in OnDockingPaneNotify:

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam)
{
if (wParam == XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW)
{
    CXTPDockingPane* pPane = (CXTPDockingPane*)lParam;
    if (!pPane->IsValid())
    {
    switch (pPane->GetID())
    {
    case IDR_PANE_FIND:
         m_pwndFind = (CMyFormView *)pPane->AttachView(this,
           RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyFormView));
      //...
    }
    }
    return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}

Thanks Smucker .....

Got ur way of creating dialogs

you r creating pane first and then ...typecasting obj to dialog class

Here I am creating dialogs first and using their id to pass in CreatePane .

... still wondering the way I am implementing is right or wrong ....
