   Strange. I see "Pane Hidden: 0" when it is not pinned.

	When a pane is not pinned, the IsHidden() method seems to be misbehaving. I have added a menu update handler to check or uncheck a menu item to let me know if a pane is hidden or not (forget close for now...that works). In the menu update handler I check the pane->IsHidden and it always returns TRUE (pane is hidden) even when it's not. To reproduce, use the PaneSample project (samples\DockingPane\PaneSample). I picked on PANE5 just to make this simple. Add a message map for the menu update in the cpp file as follows: ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(IDR_PANE5, OnUpdateUI_Pane5) Add the prototype to the header file: afx_msg void OnUpdateUI_Pane5(CCmdUI* pCmdUI); Here's the handler for the cpp file: void CMainFrame::OnUpdateUI_Pane5(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) { BOOL bChecked = TRUE; CXTPDockingPane* pToolBeltPane = GetDockingPaneManager()->FindPane(IDR_PANE5); if (pToolBeltPane) { TRACE("\n\nPane States\n"); BOOL bClosed = pToolBeltPane->IsClosed(); BOOL bFloating = pToolBeltPane->IsFloating(); BOOL bFocus = pToolBeltPane->IsFocus(); BOOL bHidden = pToolBeltPane->IsHidden(); BOOL bSelected = pToolBeltPane->IsSelected(); TRACE("Pane Closed: %d\n", bClosed); TRACE("Pane Floating: %d\n", bFloating); TRACE("Pane Focus: %d\n", bFocus); TRACE("Pane Hidden: %d\n", bHidden); TRACE("Pane Selected: %d\n", bSelected); } } Run and watch the output window. Make pane5 un-pinned and visible (not hidden). Now go to the menus: Docking Pane / Pane You'll see the results.
