floating panes in MDI

[swmp]

I am using the wxAui in the childframe(wxMDIChildFrame) of MDI, is there a way to make the floating panes only float on its parent but not the whole MDI interface ?

thx very much !!!

I'm not sure what your setup really looks like. Can you post a screenshot? the mini frame that we use definitely floats above the top level window that it is a child of. Once I have a better mental picture of what you are trying to accomplish I can give you a more specific answer.

Thanks,

I have read the code of wxAUI, and known that the floating pane(wxFloatingPane) is derived from wxFrame or wxMiniFrame (both are topLevelWindow).
so I have no idea how to do that .

thanks very much!

Hello,

From what I undetrstand about floating miniframes, it's only possible to make them stay on top of their top-level parent frame. Because MDI child windows are not top level windows, it would be very difficult to get them to float the way you want.

I hope you are able to find a solution to your problem.

Best,
Ben

I'll try, and have two direction
1. make a frame which is not a top level window.
2. make the floating pane as a wxPane or sth wxWindow .
