Too Many Panes

I see what I'm after in the PaneActions sample - but can't work out how it is enabled :-(

Hi - having a brain problem here. Exactly how should I set this? I have tried

m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize);

without success. Must I call something afterwards?

OK - I see why it works in the TabManager example, this is because you have just one group - you specify the neighbour when creating the panes, I don't.

So - how do I dynamically add my panes into the single group? I have maybe 12 different panes, created on demand, not st startup.

For the CreatePane function I need to specify a neighbour, currently I enter NULL.

Does this make sense? I have modified the TabManager example so that this doesn't work - simply by not supplying the neighbour argument and not using AttachPane().

How do I find the value to use as the neighbour?

Or - here's what I really want - I have all my panes which the user can hide as required.

Try modifying the TabManager code:

    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane1 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE1, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane2 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE2, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
    CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane3 = m_paneManager.CreatePane(
        IDR_PANE3, CRect(0, 0,200, 120), xtpPaneDockLeft);
//    m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane2, pwndPane1);
//    m_paneManager.AttachPane(pwndPane3, pwndPane1);

Hide these - then try getting the tabs Compressed - or getting any layout style applied :-(

OK - guess I found something that's missing :-)
