Regarding the release notes.

I see you already have a sub section which details any AxtiveX specific releases.

If the DockingContainers sample is only for MFC then it should be in an "MFC only" subsection  rather than letting us assume it is global addition.

You are right, these features do exist in the SDI example. Apologies for saying you didnt provide any samples on these features when infact you did.

The problem is that I had already been through the SDI example and so had no reason to revisit it, especially not to look for features that I didnt know existed.

Perhaps in the future you could consider sending out a "new features added" email to your subscription customers advising them of new features that have been added and how any new features / changes effect them.

I had no idea that this feature had been added until I happened across it when I visited your homepage by chance. If it werent for the screenshot posted there I still wouldnt have known about this great new feature.

The DockingContainers sample is a MFC project.  In VB, if you openup the SDI sample and select Docking Panes->Docking Context, youwill see how to use these properties.]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2004 15:52:15 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1087&PID=2836&title=vs-2005-docking#2836 <![CDATA[VS 2005 Docking : You are right, they are missing....]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1087&PID=2835&title=vs-2005-docking#2835 Author: SuperMario

You are right, they are missing.  I'm not sure whathappened.  I guess the changes to the documentation did not getcompiled into the release.]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2004 15:47:55 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1087&PID=2835&title=vs-2005-docking#2835 <![CDATA[VS 2005 Docking : It wouldnt matter how good you...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1087&PID=2830&title=vs-2005-docking#2830 Author: Maui

It wouldnt matter how good you were at looking because this information isnt in the documentation.

There are 8 properties listed under DockingPaneOptions Object Members and neither of these two are there.

There is also no mention of this feature in the Docking Pane examples.

It baffels me how you guys can take the time to 1. code something this involved, 2. create such stunning graphics for your website and 3. write a product spec to advertise this new feature yet you somehow can overlook 1. letting new customers know how to implement this feature, 2. neglect to inform existing subscription customers that this feature had been added and 3. not including any documentaion or samples for all users.???

I have already made a post about the bad documentation pre Report Control and I had hoped from the feedback I received on that that things were getting better but I guess not.

edit : I just looked at the release notes and see that you did let us know these properties had been added.
    CXTPDockingPaneManager::SetAlphaDockingContext added 
    CXTPDockingPaneManager::SetShowDockingContextStickers added
But.... without any explination these are just two properties that could mean/do anything.

Also underneith these two point I noticed "DockingContainers sample added"
I never got this.
All I have are the MDI and SDI samples.

This is the docking pane section, so I assumed you would know where to start looking

ToolkitPro v9.1 claims VS 2005-style docking algorithms.  How do Ienable these in my code?  The response to Maui's question includedreferences to AlphaDockingContext and ShowDockingContextStickers - whatclass or structure are those properties a member of?  A search ofthe documentation yields nothing, and I have better things to do thanrifle through 3rd-party source all day.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
