AUI CaptionVisible does not seem to show any effect.

[rocrail]

Hi,

I'm using the AUI functions in my program.
The documentation states:

wxAuiPaneInfo& wxAuiPaneInfo::CaptionVisible ( bool visible = true )
CaptionVisible indicates that a pane caption should be visible.
If false, no pane caption is drawn.

But even if I Update the AUIManger after altering the PaneInfo, this Flag does not seem to show or hide the caption.

Code snippet:

Code: Select all

    wxAuiPaneInfo paneinfo = m_AuiManager.GetPane(p);
    if( paneinfo.IsOk() ) {
      paneinfo.CaptionVisible(show);
      m_AuiManager.Update();
    }

Any tips are highly appreciated.

Code: Select all

wxAuiPaneInfo paneinfo = m_AuiManager.GetPane(p);

You're creating (and modifying) a copy of the paneinfo.

Use the reference:

Code: Select all

wxAuiPaneInfo &paneinfo = m_AuiManager.GetPane(p);

Hi,

OK, I corrected this, but no result either.
If I set this captionvisible flag to false on pane add, the caption is also showed...

I tested this in the aui sample and it worked. When and in what context do you call it?

[rocrail]

Oh?
I will check the example first, and will report.

Under macOS the caption options does do nothing; All captions remain horizontal and visible...

Just for the record: I presume that Caption == Titlebar?

I added this to MyFrame::OnAbout() in the aui sample:

Code: Select all

   wxAuiPaneInfo &info =  m_mgr.GetPane(wxT("test8"));
   info.CaptionVisible( false );
   m_mgr.Update();

Just for the record: It only works with docked panes. If you'd remove the caption from a floating pane, you wouldn't be able to move it.

It only works with docked panes.

OK, I noticed this by experimenting with the AUI sample.
But most of my panes are floating.
The idea was to hide the captions if all panes are in the wanted position.

The floating panes are wxMiniFrames? Could the title bar be hidden with those frames?

The floating panes are wxMiniFrames?

I don't think so. I think wxAUI is 100% custom drawn.
