Hello, I guess the sticky frames feature is not complete when it comes to using your app maximized, in a multimonitor environment. Try to run PaneSample (v10.4) and maximize it on the left monitor. Now with sticky frames turned on, try to snap one of the panes to the right side of the left monitor. Some pixels of the snapped pane will be placed outside the left monitor. You will see something like this:  When the app is not maximized, snapping of panes is exact. Is this a bug or a feature? If feature, can it be turned off somehow? Our clients often use 2 monitors, where the XTP-enriched app runs maximized on the left screen, so this kind of snapping can bother them. |

I think this is because the system recognizes maximized windows as having the screen size augmented by width of their frame, on all 4 sides (a maximized window's size is somewhat bigger than the screen's width x height). So this is why panes stick some pixels around the main window of the app. Am I right with this? |

Hello,
good catch. thanks.
We added
if ((m_pManager->GetSite()->GetStyle() & (WS_MAXIMIZE | WS_MINIMIZE)) == 0) in CXTPDockingPaneContext::UpdateStickyFram to check if frame was not maximized or minized. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
