Hello,

I use your docking pane to display a CFormView based view. The View is attached to the pane with pPane->AttachView(this, RUNTIME_CLASS(CmyViewClass)). So far so good. The View is displayed correctly. But I want this view connected to a document. This view is not in the DocTemplate because it is not the default view. When I follow your example, the view is created and attached dynamically 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_myPane:
                {
                    //CCreateContext does not work here, because at this point there is no document.

                    pPane->AttachView(this, RUNTIME_CLASS(CmyView));

                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
}

The problem is, that at this point no document exist and I can't pass a pointer to the document and its content to AttachView together with the runtime class of my view. How can I link my dynamically created view to my document?.

regards,
Frank.

Hi,

You can create CView in some OnCreateClient method and then attach it in OnDockingPaneNotify.

But guess its not right to connect pane to Document.
