Docking Pane Overdrawn.

Hey,

I seem to be having problems where the view is drawing over a pane when its dynamically popped up (Unpinned).

Its an SDI application.  The application's view receives refresh messages about once a second and repaints itself.

When I unpin the pane but have it visible, the main view draws over both the pane frame and the contents of the pane.  I have created the contents of the pane with WS_CLIPSIBLINGS but that made any difference.

Any pointers?

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply!  

The CWnd Objects that sit in my pane, are created with the WS_CLIPCHILDREN and WS_CLIPSIBLINGS styles.   However this doesn't seem to change anything.   The Docking pane frames themselves are created with these Styles (In the DockingPaneManager I think) but they too are still getting overdrawn.

The painting is done in OnPaint using a PaintDC.   However it is all refreshed by a function in the Mainframe that calls RedrawWindow for the view.

You say "a paint DC," are you sure it's the one for the window you're painting; i.e.:

void CMyWnd::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    //etc//
}
