Does anyone know of a way to restrict a pane from docking to the top and bottom of the main frame... but still be able to dock anywhere on another docking pane??

In other words - I'd like to be able to stack docking panes, but only on the left and right sides of the main frame.

Cheers ~ jp

Hi,

in vb6 it looks like:

Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Action(ByVal Action As XtremeDockingPane.DockingPaneAction, ByVal Pane As XtremeDockingPane.IPane, ByVal Container As XtremeDockingPane.IPaneActionContainer, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Action = PaneActionDocking Then
        If Container.Container Is DockingPaneManager.Layout.TopContainer Or _
         Container.Container Is DockingPaneManager.Layout.ClientContainer Then
            If Container.Direction = DockBottomOf Or Container.Direction = DockTopOf Then Cancel = True

        End If
    End If

End Sub

Thanks Oleg. This was working for me also:

private void DockingPane_Action(object sender, AxXtremeDockingPane._DDockingPaneEvents_ActionEvent e)

{

switch (e.action)

{

case DockingPaneAction.PaneActionDocking:

if ((e.container.Direction == DockingDirection.DockTopOf || e.container.Direction == DockingDirection.DockBottomOf) &&

(e.container.Container.Type == DockingPaneType.PaneTypeClient || e.container.Container.Type == DockingPaneType.PaneTypeSplitterContainer))

e.cancel = true;

break;

}
