Topic: DoPropExchange DockingPane Taskpanel

Hi,

i use the CXTPTaskPanel as childwindow in CXTPDockingPane.
Now, when i use PaneManager.SetLayout after a successful Layout->LoadFromFile
the following problem occurs:

Confused

my first trial:
creating a taskpanel in CXTPDockingPaneManager::OnCreatePane
and calling the dockingpanes attach method, the setparent message in the attach method failed (i know the dockingpanes copy-method sets the child handle pointer to 0; there i destroy and create new the taskpanel). Seems that the dockingpane is not ready.

Cry

second trial:
i create my panel on OnDockingPaneNotify/XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW. then the DoPropExchange-method is not called to restore my taskpanelgroupitems.

Please help with ideas.

Thanks in advance

Andreas

Hi,

You can create TaskPanel in CMainFrame::OnCreate before DockingPanes and only attach it in OnDockingPaneNotify handler.

See GUI_Whidbey sample.. where TaskPanel located in DockingPane.

i read the nuber of panes from xml so I don't know how many panes/panels i have to create. So i overwrote the Clone-method:

CXTPDockingPaneBase* MyXTPDockingPane::Clone(CXTPDockingPaneLayout* pLayout, CXTPPaneToPaneMap* pMap, DWORD /*dwIgnoredOptions*/)
{
    ASSERT(pMap);

    MyXTPDockingPane* pPane = (MyXTPDockingPane*)GetDockingPaneManager()->OnCreatePane( GetType(), pLayout);

    MyXTPTaskPanel* pPanel = dynamic_cast<MyXTPTaskPanel*>(pPane->GetChild());

    if(pPanel)
    {
        pPanel->DestroyWindow();
        pPanel = NULL;
    }

    pPane->Copy(this);
    pPane->Attach(GetChild());

    m_hwndChild = 0;

    pMap->SetAt(this, pPane);

    return pPane;
}

This works as far as i can see and hope this won't result in other problems.

with regards

Andreas

you can do

1. Load panes (Layout.DoPropExchange)

2. Check number of Panes

layoutNormal.GetPaneList().GetCount()

3. Create this number TaskPanels and call DoPropEchange for each.
