Hello,

Do you know how we could save the docking pane layout to a specific registry key ? (Codejock V.10.3.1, MFC)

( CXTPDockingPaneLayout* pPaneLayout; )

pPaneLayout->Save(_T("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Company\\SpecificApp\\LayoutBars\\MainFrameLayout"));

We really need to store it at a specific location, because we have many softwares using the same core...

Please help !

Regards,

Hello,

I understood what to do. For your information, here's my final code :

HKEY CMainFrame::GetRegistryLayoutKey()
{
CString sKeyName;
sKeyName.Format(_T("Software\\CompanyName\\%s"), GetSpecificApplicationName());

     HKEY hKeyLayout = NULL;
     ::RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sKeyName, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
          KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &hKeyLayout, NULL);

return hKeyLayout;
}

BOOL CMainFrame::LoadOrSaveLayout(BOOL bLoad, CXTPDockingPaneManager* pPaneManager, CXTPDockingPaneLayout* pPaneLayout, CString sLayoutName)
{
     if (pPaneManager && pPaneLayout)
     {
          ASSERT(!sLayoutName.IsEmpty());

          HKEY hKey = GetRegistryLayoutKey();
          ASSERT(hKey);
          if (hKey)
          {
               if (!bLoad)
                    pPaneManager->GetLayout(pPaneLayout);

               CXTPPropExchangeRegistry px(bLoad, hKey, sLayoutName);
               pPaneLayout->DoPropExchange(&px);
               RegCloseKey(hKey);

if (bLoad)
pPaneManager->SetLayout(pPaneLayout);

               return TRUE;
          }
     }

return FALSE;
}

Thanks a lot !

Best Regards,
