Using Centre Pane automaticaly for MDI child frames.

[NinjaNL]

Wouldn't it make the most sense, if the centre pane was automatically used as the default location for the mdi client area?

It is the case (looking at the code) for the case when the parent frame is of the class wxMDIParentFrame, but shouldn't this be extended to be the case for all mdi parent/children?

I have submitted a patch 1737156

Code: Select all

   if (m_frame->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxAuiMDIParentFrame)))
   {
      wxAuiMDIParentFrame* mdi_frame = (wxAuiMDIParentFrame*)m_frame;
      wxAuiMDIClientWindow* client_window = mdi_frame->GetClientWindow();

      wxASSERT_MSG(client_window, wxT("Client window is NULL!"));

      AddPane(client_window,
            wxAuiPaneInfo().Name(wxT("mdiclient")).
            CenterPane().PaneBorder(false));
   }


which is obviously an edited version of th e code which was already present, to take care of the wxAuiMDIParentFrame case, but wondered if this should be standard behaviour.

Best regards
