Hi, I am new to codejock. I am adding Docking Panes to my project. Everything is working fine except for 1 problem. Context help(f1) does not get displayed if I use pPane->AttachView(). Context help works just fine if I use pPane->Attach(). Likewise, Context help does not work if I pPane->Attach() a CFrameWnd, but works just fine if I use a CWnd. Example:

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
CXTPDockingPane* pPane = (CXTPDockingPane*)lParam;
...
//Context help works:
CWnd* pWnd = new CWnd;
pWnd->Create(NULL, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,0,0), pPane->GetParentFrame(), pPane->GetID());
pPane->Attach(pWnd);
//Context help does not work:
CFrameWnd* pWnd = new CFrameWnd;
pWnd->Create(NULL, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,0,0), pPane->GetParentFrame(), 0, 0);
pPane->Attach(pWnd);
//Context help works:
CWnd* pWnd = (CWnd*)pViewClass->CreateObject();
pWnd->Create(NULL, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,0,0), pPane->GetParentFrame(), pPane->GetID());
pPane->Attach(pWnd);
//Context help does not work:
CWnd* pWnd = pPane->AttachView(pPane->GetParentFrame(), pViewClass);

I found a workaround in that if I override OnHelp() to hide my main window and then show it, the context help will be displayed. But this is kind of a sucky workaround. I was hoping someone might have a better idea of what my problem is here.

Workaround:

void CMainFrame::OnHelp()
{
 UINT iActivePane = -1;
 CXTPDockingPane* pPane = m_paneManager.GetActivePane();
 if(pPane)
  iActivePane = pPane->GetID();
 CWnd* pWnd = this->GetParentOwner(); 
 if(IDS_PROBLEM_PAIN == iActivePane)
 {
  pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
  pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
 }
 CXTPFrameWnd::OnHelp();
}
