Minimize/Restore Resize

Hi Jake,

There is code to evenly distribute the tool windows if they get too small but it should skip over that code if you have the form minimized. Let me know if you are able to repro in our sample app.

Hi,

I have the excact same problem. It seems like it only happens when the docking manager is placed in a user control, which is then placed in a form with other, non-dockable controls. If I place the dockmanager directly in a form, the problem does not exist.
When debugging the resize event during a minimize operation, I can see that the size of all my toolwindows is set to 0x0 in the first case, but not in the second.

Regards,
Bent

Hi Bent,

We have code that checks the parent Form of the HostContainerControl (by a call to FindForm) to see if the Form is minimized and if so, it doesn't apply layout logic. Could you possibly throw together a tiny sample app and email it to us that shows this issue and we can debug it to see why it isn't working in your scenario? Thanks!

Thanks for the sample project demonstrating this. We have it fixed for the next maintenance release.

Hi, I was just wondering if you had a timeline on this fix. We are having the exact same problem and the layout of the docking control is the driving force fro the functionality of our application.
Thanks,
Brent

Brent this was something that was fixed a year ago (2005). If you are experiencing something new that is similar to this, please ZIP up a small project that shows it and e-mail it over so that we can debug it. Thanks!

Thanks for the sample Brent. You had a UserControl as the host container in your MDI child window and we weren't processing that correctly. The next maintenance release now has more generic code that should handle any sort of situation like that.
