Dear Technical Support,

in the Version 2.88 the

bool CExtControlBar::DockControlBarLTRB(

    int nPercentToOccupy, // greater then zero and less then one hundred

    CExtControlBar * pBarTarget,

    UINT nDockBarID, // = AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM

    bool bRecalcLayout // = true

    )

seems not working as decribed.

It looks that the nPercentToOccupy parameter doesn´t have effect. All the bars docked with this function are splitted by 50%.

You can easiely produce this problem by using your MDI Sample. I have changed the lines 366-392 in Mainfrm.cpp from

 

if(    ! CExtControlBar::ProfileBarStateLoad(
            this,
            pApp->m_pszRegistryKey,
            pApp->m_pszProfileName,
            pApp->m_pszProfileName,
            &m_dataFrameWP
            )
        )
	 {
        DockControlBar( &m_wndMenuBar );
        DockControlBar( &m_wndToolBar );
        DockControlBar( &m_wndToolBarUiLook, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT );
        m_wndResizableBar0.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar1.SetInitDesiredSizeHorizontal( CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar2.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar3.SetInitDesiredSizeHorizontal( CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar4.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar0.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT, 1, this, true );
        m_wndResizableBar1.DockControlBarLTRB( 50, &m_wndResizableBar0, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM, true );
        m_wndResizableBar3.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM, 2, this, false );
        m_wndResizableBar2.DockControlBarLTRB( 50, &m_wndResizableBar3, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT, true );
        m_wndResizableBar4.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT, 1, this, false );
        m_wndResizableBarTA.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT, 3, this, false );
        RecalcLayout();
    }

/*

    {
        DockControlBar( &m_wndMenuBar );
        DockControlBar( &m_wndToolBar );
        DockControlBar( &m_wndToolBarUiLook, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT );
        m_wndResizableBar0.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar1.SetInitDesiredSizeHorizontal( CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar2.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar3.SetInitDesiredSizeHorizontal( CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar4.SetInitDesiredSizeVertical(   CSize( 120, 120 ) );
        m_wndResizableBar0.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT, 1, this, true );
        m_wndResizableBar1.DockControlBarLTRB( 10, &m_wndResizableBar0, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM, true );
        m_wndResizableBar3.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_BOTTOM, 2, this, false );
        m_wndResizableBar2.DockControlBarLTRB( 90, &m_wndResizableBar3, AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_LEFT, true );
        m_wndResizableBar4.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT, 1, this, false );
        m_wndResizableBarTA.DockControlBar( AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT, 3, this, false );
        RecalcLayout();
    }

Both produce the same layout on the user interface. Playing with the percentage in the function calls doesn’t shows changes.

We successfully reproduced this issue. Thank you. It’s fixed in the latest Prof-UIS 2.89 pre-release version. Please drop us an e-mail to the support mail box at this web site so we will provide you with the source code update.

In our software we only use CExtControlBar::DockControlBarInnerOuter() for the first bar to dock. For all other control bars we use  CExtControlBar::DockControlBarLTRB(). With Prof-UIS 2.84 the control bars are docked with the given percentage, given in the nPercentToOccupy parameter. With version 2.88 this is broken. Every docked bar splits his parent in equal sizes and the nPercentToOccupy parameter are not working.

The CExtControlBar::DockControlBar() is provided for backward compatibility with very old Prof-UIS versions so you should not use it. Please use the CExtControlBar::DockControlBarInnerOuter() method instead so the CExtControlBar::DockControlBarLTRB() method’s nPercentToOccupy parameter can affect the size of control bars.
