Hi all,

i have a pane (docked to the left of the form) and a commandbar in a VB6 MDI form.

Inside the pane there is a form with a treeview. When the user selects a node in the treeview, the menubar items of the commandbar must change according to the type of node selected.

The problem is that if the pane is in AutoHide state, it hides when the user clicks a node in the treeview and the commandbars controls are removed and reinserted.

If the pane in pinned it flashes everytime the user clicks a treeview node.

Is there a way to avoid the hiding of the pane? In autohide state, the pane must hide only when the user moves the mouse or clicks outside the pane margins (like Visual Studio.)

I'm using Xtreme Suite ActiveX version 9.10 eval.

Thanks for Help.

Try looking at the GUI sample project. I changed the Class View docking pane to autohide and I had no problems with flickering and clicking on the nodes. What OS are you using, what service pack of Visual Studio? This way I can test on your setup.

The problem is riproducible only if you modify the elements of the ActiveMenuBar in the "Nodeclick" event of the treeview.

Try to add a menu control item on the main menu commandbar, while the ClassView pane is in autohide state.

In the GUI Sample add the following code to the frmClassview form:

Private Sub treeClassView_NodeClick(ByVal Node As MSComctlLib.Node)
'If access to frmMain returns an MDI error, try to assign the forms(0) object to a variabile of type form
frmMain.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add xtpControlPopup, 0, "NewItem"

End Sub
When you click a node in the treeview, the menu item "NewItem" is added to the commandbar but the classview pane hides.

I'm using WindowsXP Sp1 and Visual Basic 6 SP6.

Looks like a bug, I can't seem to find any work around. Submit this issue as a bug and hopefully if can be fixed in the next release. Everything I try, as soon as the new item is added, it pulls focus from the docking pane and gives it to the commandbar. About the only thing I can think of would be to wait until the pane loses focus to update the commandbar.
