Hi;

 .The size is not changed. Any suggestions are very welcome ------------- Martin Product: Xtreme Toolkit v 22.1.0, new Projects v 24.0.0 Platform: Windows 10 v 22H2 (64bit) Language: VC++ 2022 |

Hi,
Call m_paneManager.NormalizeSplitters(); after you change min/max size. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg,
I implemented my Size function like this:
pPane->SetMinTrackSize(CSize(nWidth, 0));
pPane->SetMaxTrackSize(CSize(nWidth, 32767));
pPaneManager_->RecalcFrameLayout(pPane);
pPaneManager_->NormalizeSplitters();
pPane->SetMinTrackSize(CSize(32, 0));
pPane->SetMaxTrackSize(CSize(32767, 32767));
But it does not work. The pane still has the size as provided by the CreatePane() call.
I only want to change the width of the pane, so the parameter nWidth is provided as a function parameter.
The function should size the pane to nWidth pixels and after sizing to nWidth allow a real minimum size of 32 pixels - max width is somehow unlimited... ------------- Martin Product: Xtreme Toolkit v 22.1.0, new Projects v 24.0.0 Platform: Windows 10 v 22H2 (64bit) Language: VC++ 2022 |

Hello,
Now code looks ok.
I tried it in our DockingPane sample:
void CMainFrame::OnShowPane(UINT nID)
{ //m_paneManager.ShowPane(nID); CXTPDockingPane* pPane = m_paneManager.FindPane(nID); int nWidth = 200; pPane->SetMinTrackSize(CSize(nWidth, 0));
pPane->SetMaxTrackSize(CSize(nWidth, 32767)); m_paneManager.RecalcFrameLayout(pPane); m_paneManager.NormalizeSplitters(); pPane->SetMinTrackSize(CSize(32, 0)); pPane->SetMaxTrackSize(CSize(32767, 32767)); }
and all work as expected. Problem can be only with Floating panes. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg;
I do not have floating panes. The only issue to mention is that the PaneManager is a memeber of a CView derived class and the pane is docked to the right side of the view without any possibility to be undocked/moved. The pane has no caption/titlebar.
Could this be the reason why the pane won't get sized? Also the call to the SetSize() function is executed in CView::OnInitialUpdate() right after opening the document. ------------- Martin Product: Xtreme Toolkit v 22.1.0, new Projects v 24.0.0 Platform: Windows 10 v 22H2 (64bit) Language: VC++ 2022 |

Hi,
Difficult to say what happen in this case without code.
Actually you can easy use simple CSplitterWnd class instead DockingPanes for your case. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I have been trying to do this with floating frames with no success. Ideally I would like to set the size of the pane, and then show the pane (which will restore it to floating). Unfortunately FloatPane does not seem to work as the pane is already loaded (by default closed) by the layout and it issues an assert. Is there a way to set the size for floating frames, ideally the size of the pane client not the window size? |
