Dear Tech Support,

I have a dialog that is a child of a CExtControlBar. Is there a way to make sure that the CExtControlBar does not go into AutoHide when the child dialog is active?

I have tried calling the AutoHideModeSet of the CExtControlBar and setting the autohide to false, however the bar still hides but a ghost copy is shown untill I set it to true again.

Thanks,

As you know, you make the control bar auto hidden in these two ways:

1) By clicking the pin button.

2) Programmatically.

Please let us know more details about the problem. What you mean exactly by the word "active"?

Yes, sorry for not being more descriptive.

So here is the scenario:

1) User turns on auto-hide by clicking the pin button.
2) User then presses a button in the control bar that activates a separate dialog that is centered in the middle of the screen.
3) When the user moves the mouse over to the center of the screen (and off of the control bar) to manipulate the new separate dialog, the control bar will auto-hide.

Is there a way to ensure the control bar will not auto-hide while that dialog is up and the mouse is outside of the control bar?

Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion. The auto-hide slider window currently stays visible only if the mouse pointer is in inside its area or if it contains a focused window. It is not currently possible to change this behavior because it is implemented in Prof-UIS internally. We can implement this in one of the next versions.
