[SOLVED] Dockable palette - is it possible?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is it possible to create a dockable custom palette like Info Box - in the other words, is it possible to create a window, which can be made floating or docked to some side of the working area?
Thanks.

Where/How to initialize Palette::SelectionChanged using ACAPI_Notify_CatchSelectionChange?

Hi,

I think it's better if SelectionChanged belongs to PaletteObserver, and then you can initialise it in PanelOpened function like this:
GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL	PaletteObserver::SelectionChanged (const API_Neig* selElemNeig)
{
	// ...
}

void PaletteObserver::PanelOpened (const DG::PanelOpenEvent& /*ev*/) 
{
	// ...
	ACAPI_Notify_CatchSelectionChange (SelectionChanged);
}

void PaletteObserver::PanelClosed (const DG::PanelCloseEvent& /*ev*/) 
{
	// ...
	ACAPI_Notify_CatchSelectionChange (NULL);
}
Best Regards,
