drag & drop DC++ sections

SMEE AGAIN!!

I want the different "sections" in the DC++ interface to be movable, just like the toolbars in IE. One section for the button bar, one for window view, one for the transfers and one for the window tabs. Just drag 'n drop them where you want them.. huh? Wouldn't this be awesome!!!

"dockable"

a dockable interface like visual studio .net has would be incredible (windows are dockable, and can be put in tab groups), however would be very hard to implement I'd think.

Yup, I think that dockable window classes abound in pay-toolkits and in free MFC code samples, but not so much in ATL/WTL.

Hmm, actually... http://www.codeproject.com/wtl/wtldockingwindows.asp

If someone wants to re-adjust DC++'s gui, this might be the ticket. Opera? This'd be a great advancement for oDC. And you could even wait a version or two to give code to DC++.

(He's unlikely to read this, and it's in good humor anyhow. My bark is worse than my bite, especially on the forums. But I'm mostly harmless.)

dont you love how picky vs .net is =D, had to fix all sorts of little things to even get the examples to compile. Wonder how much this will break dc++ =D

this whole thing wasnt designed to work with MDI Childs, so it is a little bit of work. However, I've made alittle progress.

The Finished Downloads/Uploads window start off separate and you can drag them into each other. My main problem at this stage is that I can't have the tabs at the bottom of the screen, unless ofcourse I write another template that can combine the two.

Whoah. Sweetness, from what I see so far. It looks like an interesting take on DC++, for sure.
