wxMDI Sample?

[Infinity77]

Hello NG,

I am trying to understand how to use wxAUI with MDI. Basically, I would like to have a TreeCtrl on the left of MDIParentFrame and let the MDIChildFrames occupy only the space at the right of the TreeCtrl.
Does anyone have a small snippet of code for doing this using wxAUI? Or just some guidance on how to implement it?

Thank you very much in advance.

Andrea.

Code: Select all


       m_frameManager.SetFrame(this);
   
   ....
   // create panes
   m_errorPane      = new iLogView(this);
   m_projectPane          = new iProjectManagerView(this);
   m_helpPane      = new iHelpView(this);
       
        //this is the only magic
   wxMDIClientWindow* content = this->GetClientWindow();
   
   //add the panes to wxFrameManager
    m_frameManager.AddPane(m_errorPane,     wxBOTTOM, _("Log Window"));
   m_frameManager.AddPane(m_projectPane, wxLEFT,   _("Project Manager"));
   m_frameManager.AddPane(m_helpPane,     wxLEFT,   _("Help Window"));
   m_frameManager.AddPane(content,        wxCENTER, _("Editor Window"));
   
...
   
   // commit changes
   DoUpdate();
}

this stuff is all in controll creation methode of my wxMDIParentframe derivated widget class. If you add new wxMDIChildFrame based object which have this class as parent (the way you ever do this ) they will be only take place on the content called pane.

look in code !!

hope this helps
