Hi there,

I have a problem with the functionality of the dockingpane. I have created a form, loaded xcb-file to display the ribbonbar and the toolbox and placed 3 dockingpanes on the form.

When I start the application, it lookslike this:

The panes seem to ignore the toolbar.

But if I just slightly move the toolbar all the panes are recalculated and they look perfect:

If I then resize the panes, they jump into the wrong position again.

I hope someone has a solution for this.

Thanks a lot,

Frank

Which status bar is that? If is is not the codejock one you will need this:

Private Sub CommandBars_GetClientBordersWidth(Left As Long, Top As Long, Right As Long, Bottom As Long)

If sbStatusBar.Visible Then

Bottom = sbStatusBar.Height

End If

End Sub

I am sure the solution i gave before is your problem to the drawing over the panes

Hi,

thanks for your help. I changed this:

Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Resize()
    On Error Resume Next

    Dim Left As Long
    Dim Top As Long
    Dim Right As Long
    Dim Bottom As Long

    DockingPaneManager.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom
    DockingPaneManager.RecalcLayout

    DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars (CommandBars.GetDispatch)

End Sub

and now it works. The panes are where I want them to be! Great!

Thanks a lot. Now I only have the problem of the missing controls of the frame in the CommandBars Section of this forum.

Good day,

Frank

this is VB .Net? That is not the proper spot for DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars (CommandBars.GetDispatch), it should be set after your commandbars are loaded and before the docking panes are created.
