Hello, is there any way to achieve a snapping effect of docking panes so that when a pane is moved by the user, then it will automatically snap to the closest edge of the screen? Or can it be made only by overriding OnMoving() of the tabbed container? Thanks for your help, in advance! |

Hi, It is not built-in supported, but you always can override CXTPDockinPaneTabContainer and message, etc... :) ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

| Thanks, my snapping is finished now. However it's not the CXTPDockinPaneTabContainer but CXTPDockingPaneContext what must be changed a little bit. |

Hi - just saw this thread. Will you be snapping to the edges of the screen (monitor) instead of the main frame? This would be a rather fantastic feature. ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

Yes, I needed snapping to edges of the screen, and to edges of the MDI Client area, too. But I really mean snapping and not docking here. That is, to make a floating pane "jump" (by adjusting its position) to the edges, keeping the pane still undocked. Something like what Photoshop does with its non-modal dialogs. If it'll be part of 10.3, it's great. At what time horizon can we await this feature approximately? |

Wow! [Warning - hope this makes sense] Many of my users have dual screens, so I could run my MDI app on screen 1 and snap my many dialogs to screen 2? I would dearly like to be able to drag a MDI view from the MDI app on screen 1 so that it snaps / docks to screen 2. If Codejock and jockettes achieve this then - Wow! Standard Windows MDI support for dual monitor systems isn't great. I have essentially two main views, the ability to press a button, have the app go full size across both monitors and put a view on each monitor is very desirable. ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

I didn't see this in the 10.3 release notes - can anyone point me in the right direction?

OK - I'll see if I can change a sample (any suggestions?), if not I'll be back! ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

Sorry - I'm too stupid to understand. In the ActivePaneView sample I changed CMainFrame but don't see any change in the program  // Initialize the docking pane manager and set the // initial them for the docking panes. Do this only after all // control bars objects have been created and docked. m_paneManager.InstallDockingPanes(this); // Set Office 2003 Theme m_paneManager.SetTheme(xtpPaneThemeOffice); m_paneManager.SetStickyFloatingFrames(TRUE); ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

Hello,
Try float pane and move it near screen edges/another floating frame. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

OK, I modified the DialogPanes sample and see how floating panes stick together. I don't see any stickyness to the screen (monitor) edges. Having stuck three panes together it would be nice to be able to drag them three around the screen in one 'lump' somehow. ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

OK - I see the screen edge stickyness. It would be nice to have the pane snap to the screen and use all available width and/or height as appropriate. So I could drag a view from my MDI app on screen 1 and have the view go full screen on screen 2. And drag my dialog panes from my MDI app and have the snap - rally snap - to screen 2. that would be GREAT !!! ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

Hello Oleg, I'm really glad you've implemented one of our requests. I'd like to have two questions about this pretty new feature, to see if we ought to upgrade from 10.1 to 10.3:

Hi, Having modified the ActivePaneView sample, my answer to both questions is yes. ------------- Simon HB9DRV |
