What calls would be made to arrange three panes in three vertical columns that always fill the client area? Or more generally X panes in X vertical columns, filling the client area. Thanks!

OK, I will try to help. I have only used the ActiveX version but
the concept should be the same. There are a few ways to do this
based on whether the application is a SDI or MDI application. I
will assume you are creating a SDI application. Here is the code
for AxtiveX version: Dim A As IPane, B As IPane, C As IPane Set A = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(1, 200, 120, DockLeftOf, Nothing) Set B = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(2, 200, 120, DockRightOf, A) Set C = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(3, 200, 120, DockRightOf, B) Refer to the SDI docking panes sample. First 3 IPane objects at declared, which are the docing panes you will attach something to. Then you create the first docking pane, assign it an index, width, height, docking direction, and neighboring pane to doc to. The first pane is docked to the left of Nothing, when docking to nothing the pane is docked to the frame of the application. When creating the pane a pointer is set so this pane can be refrenced. The next line of code created pane B which is docked to the right of pane A. Now you have your client area filled with two vertical panes. Now add pane C docking it to the right of Pane B. This will fill the entire client area with three vertical frames. All you need to do is figure out what values to pass in for the width and height. All this functionality should be included in the MFC version. I hope this helped, let me know if you need be to explain anything else. |

I believe this is the code in MFC, hopefully this code along with the
ActiveX version I posted before will help. GetDockingPaneManager()->InstallDockingPanes(this); GetDockingPaneManager()->SetTheme(xtpPaneThemeOffic e); // Create docking panes. CXTPDockingPane* pwndPaneA = GetDockingPaneManager()->CreatePane( IDR_PANEA, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), dockLeftOf ); CXTPDockingPane* pwndPaneB = GetDockingPaneManager()->CreatePane( IDR_PANEB, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), dockRightOf, pwndPaneA); CXTPDockingPane* pwndPaneC = GetDockingPaneManager()->CreatePane( IDR_PANEC, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), dockRightOf, pwndPaneB); You can use the pointers to do things like set the title of the pane and attach them to each other. I hope this helps you out with the MFC, I though I should post this because I didn't realize how different this is from the AxtiveX version. |

| Has the ability to hide the client area been implemented in 8.70? I'd like my docking panes to always fill the window. |

Okay, I see hiding the client area has been implemented by calling CXTPDockingPaneManager::HideClient(TRUE). Thanks for the fix!!! |
