Hi
I'm in the process of evaluating Xtreme Suite for the purposes of the software project we're working on. I'm using the ActiveX version of the components in C# (VS .NET 2003).
I'm using both Command Bars and Docking Pane Manager. I want to create an SDI application do I have created a single document control on my main form. I'm trying to position it properly inside commandBars_ResizeEvent(). Here's what I do (copied straight from sample code):
int left, top, right, bottom;
commandBars.GetClientRect( out left, out top, out right, out bottom );
dataTableControl.SetBounds( left, top, right - left, bottom - top );
The problem is that commandBars.GetClientRect() returns unrealistic values: left=3090, top=345, right=9630, bottom=9030. Of course, the SetBounds() call is then positioning my document control well beyond the screen.
What's wrong?
Regards
Michal Blazejczyk

Might need to add:
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
..............
foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
{
&nbs p; if (ctrl is MdiClient)
{
CommandBars.SetMDIClient(ctrl.Handle.ToInt32());
}
}
..............
}

Hi
Yes, but my app is not MDI and none of my controls are MDI. Is this required by the Xtreme Suite?
What I did was following the example that I found in the DockingPane C# sample... It works there, why not in my case? The only difference is the presence of CommandBars...

You can try:
DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars (CommandBars.GetDispatch());

Yep, I'm doing that.
This behavior looks like a bug to me. I tried remove the command bars from the picture - dockingManager.GetClientRect() still returns way too big values.
But the DockingPane sample works fine :-(((

Try changing the scale mode of CommandBars and DockingPanes from Twips to Pixels. It defaults to Twips, and that's probably what's giving you the large numbers. I've been using all the controls in C# without problems.
