Hi,

My SDi application has one dockable pane. I only it to be possible to dock this pane on the left or the right hand side of the window.

How would I do this?

Thanks

Robin

Try this:

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
    if (wp==XTP_DPN_ACTION)
    {
        XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lp;
        if (pAction->pPane->GetID()==IDR_TIMESCALE && pAction->action==xtpPaneActionDocking)
        {
            if (!pAction->pPane->IsHidden() && pAction->dockDirection!=xtpPaneDockTop && pAction->dockDirection!=xtpPaneDockBottom)
               pAction->bCancel=TRUE;
            else
               pAction->bCancel=FALSE;
            return 1;
        } 
    }
    return 0;
}

This restricts docking to top or bottom of frame.

Tried that and found that I could only dock to top or bottom, changed code to...

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
    if (wp==XTP_DPN_ACTION)
    {
        XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lp;
        if (pAction->pPane->GetID()==IDR_TIMESCALE && pAction->action==xtpPaneActionDocking)
        {
            if (!pAction->pPane->IsHidden() && pAction->dockDirection!=xtpPaneDockTop && pAction->dockDirection!=xtpPaneDockBottom)
               pAction->bCancel=FALSE;
            else
               pAction->bCancel=TRUE;
            return 1;
        } 
    }
    return 0;
}
