Hi Aaron

OK, I'm thinking then I don't understand how it is meant to work.

I'm doing this:

Start App => start form => unpin pane (retracts)
=> click grey area where text would be if I had added some
pane expands and has focus pin is in autohide on mode (unpinned)

At this point I'm thinking if I click on the child form the pane should retact?
It doesn't. The only way to get it too is to click the pin.

This is with your uploaded version of the app and MDIChild is set to false.

Its the same if I put the mdi child property to true.

Now,  if I toggle the child form between nornal and maximised, switch to another app and back, the pane retracts.

So is it machine dependent in which case I am very nervous ( twitch developing). Do you get different results?

Hi,
 
I don't know why it doesn't work for you, if I click autohide it hides the pane and the pinbutton does toggle.

Hi Aaron

Sorry for the silence, we have had some rough weather and no power for a day!

Setting the MDIChild property seems to work, but the same issue remains, when you expand by clicking the docking pane you cannot retract it. Is there a way to toggle the pin image, and at least mak it look like it is working OK?

Hi,
 
DockingPanes is a great control for this. I'm not that happy with MDI though  
 
I did a test where you have a form (with ReportControl inside) attached to a pane. If you set the property MDIChild = false, the rows of RC won't be selected, set to true it will work nicely. Seems somekind of focus problem?!?! 
 
You have simular only you have a TaskPanel inside.... I don't mean to scare you but won't it be a problem to do it like this. If I were you, I would like an opinion of a support member, so he can explain what will happen if you do it like this. Not that you have many options to choose from right now, but you rather want to know in advance, right?
 
btw, If your issue is solved, please add SOLVED in your Topic description and have a look at post http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11225
 
Thanks

Aaron, You're a star  !!!!!!!

Works a treat

Also docking on the various sides of the form works robustly.

Thank you

Hi,
 
I don't know for sure (I'm not into MDI) but I think it has to do something with the handle of pane and form2 MDIChild = true that the pinbutton click is always hiding the pane (as you have now).
 
 
If you set Form2, MDIChild = false it would function as should (in my opinion). Now, autohide toggles when clicked.

Thanks Aaron

I didn't explain verywell!

When you start the test app, the docking pane is pinned (autohide off). If you now click the pin, (autohide on), the panel naturally retracts as it should.

If you mouse over or click the pane to get it to expand, it will not retract (pin in autohide on position, unless you click the PIN (autohide should now be off) at which point it retracts.

 If you click on an item and load the form it will retact but when you expand it you can only hide it by clicking on the pin.

I'm thinking that there is some form property that I have not set?

We have a large legacy suite which we have converted from very old ugly controls to CodeJock, which looks great.

This would be the icing on the cake so I'm pretty keen to get working, and thank you for your help and patience.

I'll upload the code here, if you run it you will see exactly what I mean.

Hi,
 
When pane is selected it will stay visible, if you would click a button or textbox in the form the pane will be de-activated and will autohide. Just an option to have the pane stay visible.
 
 
 
When this happens, clicking on the pin retracts the panel instead of pinning it.
autohide on     autohide off
 
 
If autohide is on and you click it again, you set autohide off and pane will be restored. (don't mind the tooltip text )

Thanks Aaron

That works better, the task panel now stays attached.
The only remaining issue is that if you slide the panel out by clicking it, it will not retract when you click on the child form.

When this happens, clicking on the pin retracts the panel instead of pinning it.

Any ideas?

Thanks again
