There is a docking-pane feature that I’d like to have in my application, and it looks like it is SO close to being supported in Xtreme Toolkit, but I can’t quite find it.

I can already have a floating docking pane, with other panes “owned” by it and contained inside it, as is shown in

http://www.codejock.com/products/dockingpane/tour_06.asp

or can be easily done with the ‘Panes’ sample. When you dock another pane onto the side of a floating pane, a new floating “owner” pane called ‘Panes’ appears to hold them both. This is great.

However, if I then dock that floating “owner” pane called ‘Panes’ to the side of the mainframe, the owner pane disappears and the owned panes dock independently into the framework. The fact that they were grouped together as sub-panes of the owner pane is lost. I cannot grab the owner pane and re-float or re-dock the collection of panes as a unit; I have to do all of the formerly-owned panes separately.

So is there any way to have the pane-subpane relationship that is apparent in floating docking panes be preserved when the owning pane is docked?

TIA
