D4 Docking question.

Art,

  Try changing the BorderStyle property of the form to anything other than "bsSizeable" (bsDialog would work).

Good luck with your project!

In fact you can only use dialog or single if you want the action you are asking for....

Thanks! But no that wont work. My docking control inherited from TWinControl so there should be some other way...

Try using setbounds to your default settings  any time the object is repainted and overrride your components paint function

Gabe

Try this:

In your Forms' private section, add this:

procedure WMGetMinMaxInfo(var Msg: TWMGetMinMaxInfo);
                          message WM_GETMINMAXINFO;

Then, in the body of the code, do this:

procedure TForm1.WMGetMinMaxInfo(var Msg: TWMGetMinMaxInfo);
begin
   inherited;
   with Msg.MinMaxInfo^ do begin
      ptMinTrackSize.x:= 799; { Set your dimensions here}
      ptMaxTrackSize.x:= 799; {  and here               }
      ptMinTrackSize.y:= 500; {  and here               }
      ptMaxTrackSize.y:= 500; {  and here <G>           }
   end;
end;

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Best wishes,


Stuart.

Hi, art!
if you use Delphi 4 you can use the Constrains property to set the Min and Max height of a control.
It will have the same effect as Stuart's procedure.
But I'm not sure that it will work while docking.

1. Paint procedure -> endless loop.
2. wm_getminmaxinfo -> not of help (I dont mazximize).
3. Constraints -> Bingo!!! :-)

kotik rewrite ur comment as an answer please. :-)
