Is it possible to get a pane to shrink to it's child form (the form to which it is attached via the Handle attribute) when it is detached from a DockingPaneManager?
I've tried to set the Min and Max track values in the action event for the Docking pane manager when the pane is floated but this has no effect.
I'm trying to get the panes to resize to minimise the amount of screen space they take up when detached so any assistance would be appreciated. I would have thought this behaviour would be configurable but haven't been able to find anything so far.
Thanks.

Hi,
The properties MinTrackSize and MaxTrackSize should do the trick
DockingPane.FindPane(1).MinTrackSize.SetSize 100, 100
DockingPane.FindPane(1).MaxTrackSize.SetSize 100, 100 (This will also prevent the pane from getting resized as well)
When MinTrackSize and MaxTrackSize are set to a value the floating pane will be resized to this value otherwise you have to set left,top,right,bottom in the FloatPane method.
DockingPane.FloatPane DockingPane.FindPane(1), 0, 0, 0, 0
(Where 1 is the Pane ID)
Or in the DP Action event:
If Action = PaneActionFloated Then
DockingPane.Options.ThemedFloatingPanes = False 'huhhhh ?????
Pane.MinTrackSize.SetSize 200, 100 Pane.MaxTrackSize.SetSize 200, 100 DockingPane.Options.ThemedFloatingPanes = True 'huhhhh ????? DockingPane.RedrawPanes 'resize contents
End If If Action = PaneActionDocked Then
Pane.MinTrackSize.SetSize 300, 300 Pane.MaxTrackSize.SetSize 800, 300 End If Note: the 'huhhhh ????? means that this must be set first otherwise the pane won't be resized to Min and MaxTrackSize. If you don't use ThemedFloatingPanes you don't have to add these lines of code. There are a few buts...

I've tracked the problem down to one of the options on the DockingPaneManager. I had ThemedFloatingFrames = true which causes the observed behaviour i.e panel size doesn't change when the pane is undocked.
Setting ThemedFloatingFrames = false does cause the panel to shrink to the size of the wrapped window. However, in this case, the window style doesn't match the other windows. I've managed to find a workaround but I'm surprised this option gives functional differences rather than just a difference in appearance.

Hi,
That's what I said, look at the 'huhhhh ????? note. You don't have to workaround that, CodeJock will fix this in the final V12 release. So be patience my son
