CodeJock Docking pane

[Aart]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the dockingpane activex from codejock. This works very
well within PB, except for one thing: when using a datawindow control as the
child within a pane (you create panes and assign a child to it) mouse events
aren't redirected to the correct datawindow events anymore. With all other
controls, when clicking on them, the correct event is fired. For a
datawindow, I can catch lbuttondown and up messages, but just when I add
user events and map them to pbm_lbuttondown etc. I guess PB does some
'magic' coding when a dw is clicked and determines which events should be
fired. This magic doesn't occur when the messages are sent through by the
activex (as far as I can see when looking at the messages sent with Spy++
the messages go through the activex and are then redirected by the activex
to the child that is embedded within the pane. So when a wm_lbuttondown
message is sent, it is sent to the datawindow as a wm_lbuttondown message).
Does anyone know if there is a way to get around this behaviour or is it
just bad luck (as the docking panes look very nice)

Kind regards,
Aart Onkenhout

Try placing the datawindow on a userobject then add that userobject to
your dockpane.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid I already tried that one and it
doesn't work either.

I had similar problems with Datawindows after calling the SetParent API
on them. I figured that was the problem here.

You can try PowerDock from PowerToTheBuilder.com to see if that will do
(http://www.powertothebuilder.com/PowerDock.aspx). It's not as good as
what you get from Codejock but it may make due.
