I have a similar problem.
Is there any updates?

I resorted to BCGSoft to get an answer, they are the creators of MFC 9.0 (Feature Pack) including the CDockablePanes,etc
This is the link of my discussion, hope it helps you. Frankly I didn't implement that solution instead I solved my pbm another way, according to the context I was with.

Thank you for the quick answer 
As I understood from BCG topic I have to implement it by myself by resizing the client pane.
It's not so difficult when I use a one single pane, but it becomes much more difficult when I have to implement resizing of number of client panes, especially when dividers are moved...

That case try to see how you can change your parent CWnd by a CFrameWndEx which contains the logic of managing dock sites and positioning panes.
If you fail, as I did, then try also to study the effort and possible outcome of investing into porting the thing yourself into CWnd.
In afxmdiframewndex.h there a section of code called "dockmanager layer". May be it suffices to import this code, decouple it from its host class and try put it into your custom "CDockAwareWnd" class so the thing works ! (Note that the feature pack comes with its source code).
Good luck.

Ahmed, I forgot to saty that my CWnd is already CFrameWndEx.
I have started a new SDI application and I want to manage a set of dockable panes in the way that they will always occupy the whole space of main frame. But as I understood from the "rich" VS2008 MSDN documentation there is no such a possibility. I can align my panes to left/right/top/bottom but not to whole space so I have to manage their sizing by myself...
Maybe I missed something (I'm new in mfc 9)?

You are on another pbm then.
Well, yes exactly, there's indeed not such "central" dock site or space within the FrameWndEx.
the FrameWndEx first lays out the docking panes, according to their positions in the borders and the central space that is left is reserved for the CView that would have been attached to the Frame and to another abstract CDocument class via the documenttemplate mechanism.
If you do'nt have time to adapt the source code then I think you just have to identify one of your existing docking panes and put its content into the CView, so it will be always shown in the central area and the remaining panes will be placed to its left/right/top, etc.
I hope your situation is not the same as mine in 2007 when I had to develop a video surveillance application. Docking panes (or control bars) seemed to be perfect to use as windows to show remote camera video and let the user manage the custom positioning of multiple video window byhimself.
There was the need to get rid of the central area. this was not possible since all my panes are in term of type of content the same. I ended up doing things manually inside the CView.
So I hope your pbm be solved by finding the particlar docking pane that hosts the type of content that can be shown persistently in the central area (CView). Otherwise also try to invent one !

I am afraid my situation is similar to yours in 2007
Maybe it's even worst because I have to switch between a view modes (different sets of panes).
For example:
View mode1 ---> Pane1-Pane4-Pane6
View mode2 ---> Pane2-Pane3-Pane5
BTW:
Putting one of the panes into the view may be a good solution and I should consider it, but in this case I can already see a main problem: when you try to drag this pane out you came to the same situation of empty rectangle...

Well first of all let me also suggest to you to consider the use of splitter frame. It is also easy to use : all you have is to indicate the splitting(rows/columns) and then attach windows to each resulting zone.
You can make a toolbar on top of the frame with each button corresponding to a certain "split configuration" or "mode" according to your terminolgy.
Thus when the user choses a mode, you rest the splitting algorithm and dynamically reattach windows to the zones (This is allowed by the SplitterWnd).
Finally, commenting on your last note, well, you should note that a view can't be dragged out of the central space. You told me your application is SDI. If it was MDI and the docking panes are created within the main frame then if you do'nt have a child frame (CMDIChildFrameEx) then the central void will appear.

Accessing some Invalid index would be a quick guess. Did you try using the great DEBUGGER to know where and why the assertion is popping up...

Why do you need the _endthread() call?

Have you looked at line 449 of afxcmn.inl? That would be a big clue as to what condition is asserting.

Hi all,
I want to know how to set the window size in an sdi application to 770*550.After setting it to the desired size it does not have any scroll bars.Also where can I put the corresponding code.
please help,,
its urgent...

The SetWindowPos function changes the size, position, and Z order of a child, pop-up, or top-level window.
The scroll bars won't be visible if the application fits to the window. you can check this behavior with IE

It sounds like you may have a FormView application and your form is larger than the default window size. If that's the case, look in your view class at the OnInitialUpdate method. You can change
ResizeParentToFit(); to be
ResizeParentToFit(FALSE);
Hope that helps.

You can set the size in PreCreateWindow(..) of MainFrm.cpp of your SDI.
Loot at below.
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
cs.cx=450;
cs.cy=600;
return TRUE;
}

Hi all,
can someone tell me how to create fonts or create a .ttf file for a new language on windows.
I need to know the mannual method of doing this and not to use some utility.
You can assume that I need to write an utility to create font.

This isnt in first place a programmic topic. It is a question of the .tff file format. I think it ia a black& white raster bitmap where every charcater has its place.

just FYI, TTFs are vector-based, not bitmap-based. that's how they can scale smoothly.

Greetings Kartenk.
I need that information to create an application. I need to display a character in my mother tongue. The character has a unicode value.

Hello everyone,
Today I have some free time to debug into string class itself. Here is the related sample code I debugged.
Two questions,
1. I have debugged that for small buffer (size <= 15), string will use buffer on stack, char array, and for larger buffer (>15), the space on heap is used (and destructor of string will free the space on heap), correct?
2. What is the function of the internal member variable _Bx._Buf and _Bx._Ptr? I have posted my debug results and why sometimes _Bx._Ptr is bad ptr and sometimes _Bx._Ptr has valid content.
I debugged under VS 2008.
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string foo()
{
string b;
b.append ("msdn");
b.append (".microsoft");
b.append (".com");
return b;
}
int main()
{
string s1 = foo();
return 0;
}
thanks in advance,
George

I guess only looking at the source of the string class will tell this certainty.
Personally, I'm not sure at all about this point, so i won't answer at the risk of saying a mistake.
[add] looking at the piece of code provided by CPallini, you seemed to be right here [/add]

Again, looking at the source of the string class will ensure you about their use.
looking at the name of the attributes however, i'd say for sure that _Buf is the internal buffer of the string instance, the place which stores the characters you put within the string actually.
_Ptr may be invalid for some optimization reasons, but again here, i'm not sure at all, and stepping into the append() method code will tell you exactly how it's used and what for...

Thanks toxcct,
I come here to ask for some experience of guys who has debugged before.
Actually I have debugged into append, but the template functions, you know looks very confusing.
regards,
George
