I need to hide my task panel and other windows in my docking pane when I am docked with other panes but I am not the active pane.
 
I have hooked into the notification code but I have not yet found a reliable way to use the events to know when I need to show my windows (or hide them).
 
If I am docked with multiple panes, I get the xtpPaneActionActivated action event when I click the tab for my pane. Likewise I get xtpPaneActionDeactivated when I click on another tab (if I am active). So I am almost there.
 
However, if I float the pane and then double-click it to dock it, I get a xtpPaneActionDeactivated notification. I don't get xtpPaneActionActivated unless I click in the pane. I would note that in this case I am the "top" (focused?) pane so I need to effect a dispaly (by doing a ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) on my task panel.
 
I have also found that when I click the tab of my pane that I get a XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW notification. However when I click another pane there is no equivalent "XTP_DPN_HIDEWINDOW" notification.
 
So I am now hiding on deactivate notification when double-clicking to dock and then showing again when getting the show window event.
 
Is there a better way to know just when I need to display my child windows (code jock task panel)?
