// Create docking panes.
 m_outlookViewBar.Create(this);
 m_pOutlookPan = m_paneManager.CreatePane(IDR_OUTLOOKPAN, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
 m_pOutlookPan->Attach(&m_outlookViewBar);

 m_nutritionBar.Create(this);
 m_pNutritionPan = m_paneManager.CreatePane(IDR_NUTRITIONPAN, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockBottom, m_pOutlookPan);
 m_pNutritionPan->Attach(&m_nutritionBar);
 m_paneManager.AttachPane(m_pNutritionPan, m_pOutlookPan);

 m_paneManager.ShowPane(m_pOutlookPan);

 // Load the previous state for docking panes.
 CXTPDockingPaneLayout layoutNormal(&m_paneManager);
 if(layoutNormal.Load(_T("NormalLayout")))
 {
  m_paneManager.SetLayout(&layoutNormal);
 }

 

And this code to show/hide each pane from a menu

 

void CMainFrame::OnViewWorkspace()
{
 // Toggle the workspace window
 if(m_pOutlookPan->IsClosed())
 {
  m_paneManager.ShowPane(m_pOutlookPan);
 }
 else
 {
  m_paneManager.ClosePane(m_pOutlookPan);
 }
}

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateViewWorkspace(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
 pCmdUI->SetCheck(!m_pOutlookPan->IsClosed());
}

 

and this code to save the positions

 

 // Save the current state for docking panes.
 CXTPDockingPaneLayout layoutNormal(&m_paneManager);
 m_paneManager.GetLayout(&layoutNormal);
 layoutNormal.Save(_T("NormalLayout"));

everything is working fine if I close my application with the first pane in front but if I close close my application with the 2nd pane in front the menu item of the 2nd pan is not checked and my application crash if I select this menu item.

 

The pane is the curnt visible pan but the function m_pOutlookPan->IsClosed() return TRUE and the application crash when I call m_paneManager.ShowPane(m_pOutlookPan) or  m_paneManager.ClosePane(m_pOutlookPan)

 

Everything is working fine if I remove the save/load code

 

Any idea where can be the problem ?

Thanks

m_pOutlookPan pointer will not be valid after SetLayout call... So use FindPane instead and not save pointers as member.

 

also... better use Notify handler to atach panes. (m_pNutritionPan->Attach(&m_nutritionBar));

 

 

The notification handle is implemented (without the pann are not displayed) but the 2 windows inside the pan need to be created to allow my application to work properly.

 

When creating the 2 windows inside the notofication the windows is only created when the pane is visible.

 

Congratulation for your very goot toolkit.
