Where to capture resizing ???

Hello,

I am putting a CXTDockingPane on a CMyDockBar(derived from CXTDockingPaneManager)

After this i am putting a Taskpanel on this Docking pane.

Now when user resizes the pane, i want to handle it.
Which Handler should i be using and for which class ?????

Thanks Oleg,

Can i store the size of this taskpanel in registry, so that when my application will restart user will see the last size he set.

Thanks,
I checked the example of how to save the layout.

Now i am geting into another problem
I have class:
class CDockBar : public CXTPDockingPaneManager
{
public:
    CmcTaskPanel    m_wndTaskPanel;
    CXTPDockingPane* m_pDocPane;
    CXTPDockingPaneLayout* m_pCmcLayout;

}

Now in the create function of CDockBar :
I create the taskpanel.
I create the pane
and i attach the taskpane to this pane.

Now when i do this:
    m_pCmcLayout = this->CreateLayout();
    if (m_pCmcLayout->Load(_T("AmitLayout")))
    {
        this->SetLayout(m_pCmcLayout);
    }
    else
    {
        this->GetLayout(m_pCmcLayout);
    }
When before it executes the call to SetLayout, the m_pDocPane shows its class in the Add-Watch of VC6 as {CXTPDockingPane}.
But as soon as the SetLayout calls is executed, the m_pDocPane shows its class in add watch as {CXTPTabManager::CNavigateButtonArrowRight}.
Why the class changes ???

Due to this my application crashes later when i call m_pDocPane->Select(); // In the GetDockingPaneManager() it shows the value of m_pLayout as NULL.

Hello Oleg,
Using FindPane() Worked fine for me :) Thanks...

Though the problem of the pointer is solved, i am not able to restore the size when i open the application next time.

This is what i am doing. Please tell me if the steps are correct.

In OnCreate()::::

    if (!m_wndTaskPanel.GetSafeHwnd())
    {
        if (!m_wndTaskPanel.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|WS_CLIPCHILDREN, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), /*this*/ pWnd, 0))
            return FALSE;
       
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetOwner(pWnd);//this);
       
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetTheme(xtpTaskPanelThemeNativeWinXP);//xtpTaskPanelThemeShortcutBarOffice2003);
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetHotTrackStyle(xtpTaskPanelHighlightImage/*xtpTaskPanelHighlightItem*/);
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetSelectItemOnFocus(TRUE);
        //m_wndTaskPanel.SetSingleSelection();
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetItemLayout(xtpTaskItemLayoutImagesWithText);//xtpTaskItemLayoutImagesWithTextBelow);
        m_wndTaskPanel.AllowDrag(FALSE);   
        m_wndTaskPanel.SetBehaviour(xtpTaskPanelBehaviourList);   
    }

    this->InstallDockingPanes(pWnd);
    this->SetTheme(xtpPaneThemeNativeWinXP/*xtpPaneThemeShortcutBar2003*/);



    m_pDocPane = this->CreatePane(ID_PANE, CRect(0, 0, 150, 150), xtpPaneDockLeft);
    m_pDocPane->SetOptions(xtpPaneNoCloseable | xtpPaneNoHideable | xtpPaneNoFloatable | xtpPaneNoDockable | xtpPaneNoCaption);


    m_pDocPane->Attach(&m_wndTaskPanel);

    m_pCmcLayout = this->CreateLayout();
    if (m_pCmcLayout->Load(_T("AmitLayout")))
    {
        this->SetLayout(m_pCmcLayout);
    }
    else
    {
        this->GetLayout(m_pCmcLayout);
    }
************
Also in the destructor of my class i am doing this:
    m_pCmcLayout->Save(_T("AmitLayout"));
    delete m_pCmcLayout;

Still i am not able to restore the Taskpanel + Pane with the new size....

What is going wrong here ???

Thanks. I did is without saving as pointer and it works fine.

However, my taskpanel is getting created by the same size.

since before i load the layout  i have a call which is:

m_wndTaskPanel.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|WS_CLIPCHILDREN, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), /*this*/ pWnd, 0))

this->CreatePane(ID_PANE, CRect(0, 0, 150, 150), xtpPaneDockLeft);
m_pDocPane->Attach(&m_wndTaskPanel);

so due to this the task panel is always getting set to 150,150.

ok :)
