Hi, If I have too many panes docked to the bottom of my MDI application then there isn't enough room to draw all the text and I just lose text and / or panes. Is there an intelligent solution built into the pane manager when takes care of this situation? ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

I see what I'm after in the PaneActions sample - but can't work out how it is enabled :-(

Hi,
You can change layout from xtpTabLayoutSizeToFit to xtpTabLayoutAutoSize. it will add scroll buttons.
See TabManager sample. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi - having a brain problem here. Exactly how should I set this? I have tried m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize); without success. Must I call something afterwards? ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

False alarm - I see it's in the Tab Manager sample - will look further after I take the dog for a walk.

Hi,
Yes, m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize); must work... Just be sure you call it after you set theme for dockingpanes. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

OK - I see why it works in the TabManager example, this is because you have just one group - you specify the neighbour when creating the panes, I don't. So - how do I dynamically add my panes into the single group? I have maybe 12 different panes, created on demand, not st startup. For the CreatePane function I need to specify a neighbour, currently I enter NULL. Does this make sense? I have modified the TabManager example so that this doesn't work - simply by not supplying the neighbour argument and not using AttachPane(). How do I find the value to use as the neighbour? --- Or - here's what I really want - I have all my panes which the user can hide as required. Try modifying the TabManager code: CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane1 = m_paneManager.CreatePane( IDR_PANE1, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft); CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane2 = m_paneManager.CreatePane( IDR_PANE2, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft); CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane3 = m_paneManager.CreatePane( IDR_PANE3, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft); // m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane2, pwndPane1); // m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane3, pwndPane1); Hide these - then try getting the tabs Compressed - or getting any layout style applied :-( ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

Hi,
Has there been any news on this subject? We would also like to have tabs in AutoHide panel scrollable. Regards, Dmitry |
