Problem with 'non-resizable' panes.

[funkyboy]

Hi:

I'm testing this library and it's an amazing add-on to the wxWidgets lib.

I have a problem with non-resizable panes.

I have some code like this:

m_FrameManager.GetPane("rete").MinSize(50, 50);
m_FrameManager.GetPane("rete").FloatingSize(50, 50);
m_FrameManager.GetPane("rete").Resizable(false);

When I undock the pane, the size of the pane in the X direction is right but on the Y direction it's as big as the screen. If I change the Resizable property to true, it works without any problem, but then the pane could be resized when floating. I want the panes cannot be reized when they're floating

Also I have found that when the pane is floating if I move the pane outside the window, sometimes the pane is docked 'outside the window'. If you resize the main window, you will see the window docked in a fixed position inside the window, but it's not in the edge but inside the window. This only happens when the pane is not-resizable.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have found that it's very esay to reproduce the dock outside the window problem.

1.- Create a pane with the resizable property set to false.
2.- Undock the pane.
3.- Move the pane and move the mouse pointer near the right-bottom end of the window, outside the window, and drop thw pane.
4.- The pane will dissapear and if you resize the main window you will see the pane docked at the end of the window.

btw: I'm using the latest code available in the CVS.

Hi,

Can you try setting BestSize(x,y) and let me know if that solves the problem?

Thanks,

Ok. I'll try this out.

BestSize doesn't solve the problem.

The pane that I'm undocking is a panel with a sizer that contains some controls.

I have follow the code and the problem is in this piece of code in the ::SetPaneWindow function:

if (pane.min_size.IsFullySpecified())
{
// because SetSizeHints() calls Fit() too (which sets the window
// size to its minimum allowed), we keep the size before calling
// SetSizeHints() and reset it afterwards...
wxSize tmp = GetSize();
GetSizer()->SetSizeHints(this);
SetSize(tmp);
}

When the function SetSizeHints is called it returns a very large height. It seems that the window or the window's sizer is not created correctly when the pane is not resizable.

Which platform are you running this on? This info will help me debug it more effectively.

I'm sorry.... I'm using windows (wxmsw).

I've just downloaded 2.7.2 version and the problems are still there.

Hi,

Can you post the Create() call you made when creating the window? Right now I still need a bit more information so I can put a test case together.

Thanks for any help,
Ben
