Hi Everyone,

I have an SDI application with a couple of CXTPDockingPanes. What I am trying to do is pin down a pane programmatically , when the user want's to show a the pane that has been unpinned before, the reason is I when the pane is extended out it cannot block the main view (it is showing the a video), so I need to pin it so that it will resize the main view.

I am catching the XTP_DPN_ACTION, but don't know what to do there.

Thanks

So far I have something working by doing this

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
....

else if (wParam == XTP_DPN_ACTION)
{
  XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION* pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION*)lParam;
  if (pAction->action == xtpPaneActionExpanded)
  {
   if (pAction->pPane->GetDockingPaneManager()->IsPaneClo sed(pAction->pPane->GetID()) || pAction->pPane->GetDockingPaneManager()->IsPaneHidd en(pAction->pPane->GetID()))
   {
    m_paneManager.ToggleAutoHide(pAction ->pPane);
   }
   return TRUE;
  }
}
....
}

If anyone has a better way, please let me know.

what about just using ShowPane() to pin, HidePane() to unpin.

works for me :)

I tried ShowPane, but it did something weird, the pane was not pinned, and it wasn't floating either, it was kinda in mid-air.
