I have an application (not mine) that uses CodeJock's AxXtremeDockingPane to add dockable panels to the application.
AxXtremeDockingPane has a method called AttachToWindow(int handle), which, when called, will create a docking box in the window with a descriptor provided, which can be any application.
I was wondering if there are any other free / cheaper dock controls that will let you do the same?
What I'm trying to do, the main application (not mine) creates the main window in it when the application starts, but they made access to the personal values of AxXtremeDockingPane, which I can not add my own panels to the main application window. The problem is that if you try to create a new AxXtremeDockingPane and call AttachToWindow(int handle)using the handle of the main application or any child windows, it throws MemoryAccessViolation, because there is already a docking manager there.
I would like to find another set that can do the same, so I can create a new docking manager in the main window, so there should be AxXtremeDockingPane and {other control} in the main window.
Sorry, it's hard to explain.
Does anyone know how I can do this, or know any tools that do.
