Hallo

I have a number of CXTPDockingPane controls, which have CDialog derived dialogs in them. It appears that none of these dialogs receive OnUpdate messages. What should I do to enable this?

Thanks

Hi,

do you mean receiving some CDialog message that is _similar_ to CView::OnUpdate() ? Would you like to handle WM_PAINT in your dialogs?

No, I would like to handle messages such as

OnUpdateCmdControl(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)

{

pCmdUI->SetText("kdlkdlkdkldldldlkdlkd");

pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE);

}

(as an example).

Oh, I see, so probably you have some menus/toolbars in your CDialogs to handle their state. If that's the case, you will need to handle WM_KICKIDLE messages in your CDialogs and make your updates from there, just like in this article:

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this as a standalone CDialog and it works fine, however I am placing the CDialog inside a CXTPDockingPane by using pPane->Attach(.....);

The OnKickIdle method is never called in this case! Is there something else I need to try?

Regards

Hello,

so try to add that handling into CXTPDockingPane::OnIdleUpdate().

I mean, if your CXTPDockingPane::OnIdleUpdate() is called properly, then you can easily communicate that event down into your child CDialog.

Thanks for the advice, but how do I 'derive' a class from CXTPDockingPane. Looking at the CreatePane function it returns a pointer to CXTPDockingPane. Can I use a derived class and then save the pointer to it from CreatePane?

Regards

Anton

You need to install your own CXTPDockingPaneManager-derived class to your app and override its OnCreatePane() method so that it will instantiate your own CXTPDockingPane-based class for objects of 'xtpPaneTypeDockingPane' type. Have a look at implementation of CXTPDockingPaneManager::OnCreatePane().

Hi,

See Samples\DockingPane\ActivePaneView it show how to route updates to panes.

I managed to get this all to work. I used

ON_MESSAGE(WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI, OnIdleUpdateCmdUI) on a derived class from CXTPDockingPaneManager and the messages are now routed correctly.

Thanks

Anton
