Summary0001685: Docking example request
DescriptionYou have a number of good docking examples, but the one thing missing is a programmatical docking example. Eg, say create Form1, and Form2, where form2, is pre-docked on creation...
Additional InformationIm struggling to make this work.. it would help a lot to see an example of some code to dock 1 form to another.
TagsNo tags attached.

If you have access to the newsgroups, there is an example posted a coouple of weeks ago. Just search for "docking" in your newsreader and you should find it.

But I agree that we should probably add an example showing how it's done (I'm not even sure myself what is the best way of doing it)

The MSDN demo creates the forms programmtical if no DockLayout.ini is existing, see:
TMSDN2002.DefaultDockLayout();

I actually wrote that code but I don't know if that is the best way of doing it...

I was looking at AdvanceDemo:

.\jvcl\dev\jvcl3\examples\JvDocking\AdvanceDemo

and I noticed that the example was VERY slightly broken. The lbDockClient1.DockStyle was not set for the delphi or the VC style forms. I set the property and added a speedbutton to close all the windows and remove the menuitems related to the windows.

I'm a little confused, the AdvanceDemo calls some methods to store the state of the docked forms but it doesn't seem to work. Bug? Any ideas?

It's a bug. It seems the use of AppStoragePath is incorrect. You can fix it like this (I think this should work for all uses):

In JvDockInfo.TJvDockInfoTree, add a reader for AppStoragePath:
...
    property AppStoragePath: string read GetAppStoragePath write FAppStoragePath;
...

implement like this:

function TJvDockInfoTree.GetAppStoragePath: string;
begin
  Result := FAppStoragePath;
  if (Result = '') and (FAppStorage <> nil) then
    Result := FAppStorage.Path;
end;

Replace all other uses in JvDockInfo.pas of "FAppStoragePath" with "AppStoragePath".

I'm new here, pardon me for asking, but who puts your fix in cvs now? How long typically does it take? How about my contribution to the example?

Well, it just hit me that you probably won't commit it until you get feedback (hence the status) about the success of the fix. So I went forth and made the changes and it worked beautifully. Awesome. Hah. It's quite a bizzarre change for me. (Understand at my workplace we just update the cvs tree willy nilly causing all sort of havoc)

Yes, good you tested. I'll commit the changes (it also needs some IFDEF USEJVCL) and your updates as well tomorrow

I've updated CVS with the modified demo as well as the AppStoragePath update.

Reminder sent to peter3

Um, sorry to bother you, but, Ive been playing with this since you redid the example and I still havent succeeded in one thing.

In the example and in other examples it uses restorechild to switch between docked and undocked.

However, firstime app runs, I cant find a way to force it to be associated and docked.. forgive me for contacting you in this way but I didnt feel opening the bug again was worth it, and I apologise for the delay (had job, lost job)
