Name

Description

Remarks

If you want to create a pane class that supports the extended docking features available in MFC, you must derive it from CBasePane or from CPane Class.

Customization Tips

The following customization tips pertain to the CBasePane Class and any classes that inherit from it:

  • When you create a pane, you can apply several new styles:

    • AFX_CBRS_FLOAT makes the pane float.

    • AFX_CBRS_AUTOHIDE enables auto-hide mode.

    • AFX_CBRS_CLOSE enables the pane to be closed (hidden).

    These are flags that you can combine with a bitwise-OR operation.

    CBasePane implements the following virtual Boolean methods to reflect these flags: CBasePane::CanBeClosed, CBasePane::CanAutoHide, CBasePane::CanFloat. You can override them in derived classes to customize their behavior.

  • You can customize docking behavior by overriding CBasePane::CanAcceptPane. Have your pane return FALSE from this method to prevent another pane from docking to it.

  • If you want to create a static pane that cannot float and that prevents any other pane from docking before it (similar to the Outlook bar in the OutlookDemo example), create it as non-floating and override CBasePane::DoesAllowDynInsertBefore to return FALSE. The default implementation returns FALSE if the pane is created without the AFX_CBRS_FLOAT style.

  • Create all panes with IDs other than -1.

  • To determine pane visibility, use CBasePane::IsVisible. It correctly handles the visibility state in tabbed and auto-hide modes.

  • If you want to create a non-floating resizable pane, create it without the AFX_CBRS_FLOAT style and call CFrameWnd::DockControlBar.

  • To exclude a pane from a docking layout or to remove a toolbar from its dock bar, call CBasePane::UndockPane. Do not call this method for panes in auto-hide mode or for panes that reside in tabs of tabbed windows.

  • If you want to float or undock a pane that is in auto-hide mode, you must call CDockablePane::SetAutoHideMode with FALSE as the first argument before you call CBasePane::FloatPane or CBasePane::UndockPane.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use various methods in the CBasePane class. The example demonstrates how to retrieve a pane from the CFrameWndEx class and how to set the docking mode, the pane alignment, and the pane style. The code is from the Word Pad sample.

// This CMainFrame class extends the CFrameWndEx class. 
            // GetPane is a method in the CFrameWndEx class which  
            // Returns a pointer to the pane that has the specified ID.
            CBasePane* pBar = GetPane(ID_VIEW_FORMATBAR);
            if (pBar != NULL)
            {
                // Set the docking mode, the pane alignment, and the pane style.
                pBar->SetDockingMode(DT_STANDARD);
                pBar->SetPaneAlignment(CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);
                pBar->SetPaneStyle(pBar->GetCurrentAlignment() | CBRS_TOOLTIPS);
                pBar->ShowPane(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE);
            }
