Docking-Floating Windows

[Manos]

Because I did not found a befitting Control to create and manage Docking-Floating windows,
I tried to build the DockWnd Control as a DLL.
I rewritten the old DockWnd.dll as a Static Library and it is just like Visual Studio 6.0 in the appearance.
Using Static Library, you can include this in your projects.
You can use this library in Assembly and C/C++ projects.Therefor, I have included two files.
One named DockWnd.inc for Assembly projects and another named DockWnd.h for C/C++ projects.
This Control is easy to use for any type application and it is accompanied with an Application to understand its usage.



Note:
The Control is upgraded on 9 June 2010.
I have added functionality in menu View.
Before use this, read the ReadMe text file.

Is it ready for 64 bits ?
Or is it ok for Win7-32 ?

Hi  Grincheux.

Currently, the Control is written for 32 bits,
but it works OK in Win7 64 bits.
I have tested this in Win7 64 bits my PC.
I have done some modifications for more capabilities,
like to change the order when more than one controls are docking in the same side,
to write the dimensions and the side to .INI file and to view the pattern brush when
move the control in whatever background color.
But because I am in holidays, I will do a new upload in a few weeks.

Hi Manos!

Thank you for sharing you time (static libs)!

Any way to mimic the Afx:ControlBar and Afx:DockPane Visual aids (the little boxes)?

Caraveiro!

Hi caraveiro.

It's not difficult to me, but this time I am very busy implementing my IDE.
I have done already a DLL for Command Bars, Rebars and Toolbars,
but it is written in C because my IDE is written in C.
Therefor it may be incompatible as static library.
If anybody was interested, I could upload this as a DLL.

Thank you, Manos!

Hurt no body if you upload the library!


Mean while, I'd tried to download your CoderStudio, but there is a 404 error

Regards!

Hi caraveiro.

About this DLL, I 'll upload later, after I check this.
About CoderStudio, I am building a new version.
If you wish to see the old version and to send me
some suggestion, go here

Manos.
