Is it possible to receive a notification when a toolbar is showed/hidden in the OnCustomize handler and/or the View-ToolBars?

Hello,

yes, catch WM_XTP_TOOLBARVISIBLECHANGED message.

I have a CXTPFrameWnd app that I need to keep the client size constant when a toolbar is made visible/invisible. It appears currently the frame size is held constant and the client size in changed.

Before I reinvent the wheel, is there a way to hold the client size constant and change the frame size when a toolbar is made visible/invisible?

Hi,

Copy some code from CommandBars\DialogSample\DialogSampleDlg.cpp

We would be willing to retain a consultant with toolkitpro C++ experience to generate code necessary to hold the client area constant and change the frame size whenever a CXTToolBar or MFC CDialogBar is made visible/invisible and or floating/nonfloating and or a change in docking from horizontal/vertical.

Post reply to my private mailbox.

Hi,

Its not so big work.

Here modified sample: https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/20070705_011313_CustomThemes.zip - CustomThemes.zip

See CMainFrame::RecalcLayout method.

Hi,

I guess same method will work with dockingpanes too.

Does the toolkitpro dockingpanes have a function like the control bars

RepositionBars() to compute the area size that has changed?

Hello,

RepositionBars is method of CMainFrame and it works for DockingPanes too.

Ok, I see what was causing my problem. When a CXTPToolBar or CDialogBar is made visible/invisible, the RecalcLayout() function is called by MFC. This is not true of the DockingPanes. Now when I show or close a docking pane, I call RecalcLayout() and everything works as expected.

Thanks a lot for your assistance.
