making pane get all available space

[cutecode]

how to make the only tab pane always be docked maximized in a wxFrame?
what ever switches I've tried, it didn't help

Code: Select all

		if (GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB == NULL)
		{
			GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB = new wxMyAuiNotebook(GetMyFramePtr(), wxID_ANY, wxPoint(0, 0), wxSize(3000, 3000),
				wxAUI_NB_BOTTOM | wxAUI_NB_TAB_MOVE | wxNO_BORDER  | wxAUI_NB_TAB_FIXED_WIDTH | wxAUI_NB_WINDOWLIST_BUTTON);
			GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.AddPane(GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB, wxAuiPaneInfo().Name(wxT("notebook_content")).PaneBorder(false).CaptionVisible(false)
				);
		}

		GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB->AddPage(GetMyParent(), L" " + m_szTitle + L" ", true/*, page_bmp*/);
		GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.Update();

Hi,
If its the only pane available - it should fill all client area.
Or are you talking about maximized state of the window?

Thank you.

It should be docked, and take all client area of the main wxFrame.

But in my case it takes only 1/3 part of wxFrame. Don't know why.
My project is very complicated and it's hard to know where the 'bug' is.

Just whanted to know if there's any switch to force it take all client area.

I think that Using sizers, the flag wxGROW and setting the stretch factor to 1 may get you on the road.

Just tried sisers, and it didn't help, as expected.
It did took all the space of wxFrame, but it hides all my toolbars ot top of wxFrame.

Hi,
What do you do differently from the auidemo?

I think it has the code that displays the notebook...

Thank you.

Hi Alexander,

Basically I took a wxFrame (I use Dialogblocks for buiding the gui and use the generated xrc-files, but you can use the c++ code as well). First I added a wxPanel (needed for TAB traversal) then I added a vertical sizer (wxBoxSizerV) added a toolbar and a notebook. The toolbar I left default, but the notebook I used the wxGROW flag and the set stretch to 1.
So I get the toolbar on top with a tabbed pane completely taking up the free frame space.

I don't use wxAUI, but AFAIK the center pane is that one that gets all available space that's left by the docked panes on the sides.

So try adding CenterPane() to the auipanel flags for the notebook.

If I add flag CenterPane, the pane becomes right aligned.
If I remove this flag, the pane becomes left aligned.
Taking only half of free space in both cases

Code: Select all

	if (get_using_doiking_childs() == 3)
	{
		if (GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB == NULL)
		{
			wxSize client_size = GetMyFramePtr()->GetClientSize();
			GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB = new wxMyAuiNotebook(GetMyFramePtr(), wxID_ANY, wxPoint(0, 0), wxSize(client_size.x, client_size.y),
				wxAUI_NB_BOTTOM | wxAUI_NB_TAB_MOVE | wxNO_BORDER | wxAUI_NB_CLOSE_ON_ACTIVE_TAB | wxAUI_NB_MIDDLE_CLICK_CLOSE | wxAUI_NB_TAB_FIXED_WIDTH | wxAUI_NB_WINDOWLIST_BUTTON);

			GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.GetArtProvider()->SetColor(wxAUI_DOCKART_BACKGROUND_COLOUR, GetFormBgColor());
			//	wxAuiDockArt* ar = new wxAuiDockArt;

			if (USE_BACK_COLORS())
			{
				wxAuiSimpleTabArt* art = new wxAuiSimpleTabArt;
				art->SetColour(GetFormBgColor());
				GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB->SetArtProvider(art);

				::SetBackgroundColour(GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB, GetFormBgColor());
			}

//			GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.AddPane(GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB, wxAuiPaneInfo().Name(wxT("notebook_content")).PaneBorder(false).CaptionVisible(false).Row(1).DestroyOnClose().Layer(0).BestSize(client_size.x, client_size.y).MinSize(client_size.x, client_size.y).Maximize());
			GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.AddPane(GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB, wxAuiPaneInfo().Name(wxT("notebook_content")).PaneBorder(false).CaptionVisible(false).Row(1).DestroyOnClose().Layer(0).Maximize().CenterPane());

			GetMyFramePtr()->Connect(wxEVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE, wxAuiNotebookEventHandler(ParentFrame::OnBeforeTabPageClose));

/*			wxBoxSizer * const sizerTop = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
			wxBoxSizer* m_staticBoxSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
			m_staticBoxSizer->Add(GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB, 1, wxGROW | wxALL, 3);
			sizerTop->Add(m_staticBoxSizer, 1, wxGROW | wxALL);

			GetMyFramePtr()->SetSizer(sizerTop);
			sizerTop->Fit(GetMyFramePtr());
			GetMyFramePtr()->Layout();*/

		}

		GetMyFramePtr()->m_gTAB->AddPage(GetMyParent(), L" " + m_szTitle + L" ", true/*, page_bmp*/);
		GetMyFramePtr()->m_mgr.Update();
		GetMyParent()->Activate();
	}

if I add this flags

Code: Select all

BestSize(client_size.x, client_size.y).MinSize(client_size.x, client_size.y)

The pane does becomes maximizes, but in this case I cannot add a pane on the left side, because it shrinks to smallest size and cannot be resized

Try to create a minimal, compilable codesample that people can try out.

The only solution I've found so far, is to remove AddPane for AuiNoteBook, and catch OnSize() event and resize manaly this AuiNoteBook
