Float pane method

   Thanks for the work around.
Is a propper DockPane method planned for future releases?
As I have already said I consider the ability to float and dock a pane to be fundamentals of a control of this type. To have to go to the extreme of destroying the pane and recreating again in its new location seems extreme.
The functionality I am suggesting already exists, it happens when you double click the title bar of a floating pane. I would like to see is this same functionality in a single call.
Thanks

	You would need to destroy the pane and create a new one. When you create it, you can place it in it original state. You will need to keep track of the location, remember, that when a pane is destroyed, the object attached still exists, so you can attatch the old object back to the new pane. Take a look at how the reading pane is moved by code in the Outlook 2003 sample. Edited by SuperMario

	Assuming I had a docked window and I used the float pane method to float it, what method could I then use to return it back to its docked state? Thanks
