I'm in the process of mocking up a tool style window that will allow me to place grippers on the window depending on where the window is located within the MDI frame. I need to be able to click on this area/gripper.
I added a mouse down (pbm_lbuttondown) and a mouse up event (pbm_lbuttonup). This is mapped to a static text object.
These events fire. The issue I'm running into is the event fires anywhere within the window. Even though the event is only defined within the static text object.
Maybe this is working the way it should, but the perception I had was that it would only fire within the object itself.
If I could get a clarification on how this should be working, I would absolutely appreciate it.
My goal is to allow for classic and flat depending on how the user wants to view it. Yes, I'm attempting to simulate a docking environment. I was going to use the dockable windows, but with the functionality being obsolete, I'm concerned I would run into issues down the road. I'm using a child window and turning the boarder off. I really want to ability to move to it sides, top or bottom. Not necessarily float it. Also want the ability to open and close it.
Always open for any suggestions. Appreciate what you've sent so far.
