Upgraded to v13.0.0 from v12.1.1.
 
pMainPane = GetMainFrame().GetPaneManager().FindPane(IDR_EXISTING_PANE);
CWnd* pWndChild = pMainPane->GetChild(); // Returns NULL when pane has not been sized (zero-height in this case)!
 
It seems XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW is not sent when the pane has zero-height. Is this by design?
 
Anyway, such changes should be thoroughly documented!

You check for empty rectangles in the ShowWindow() call. Can you please tell me how to make certain pane-children attached explicitly? When I call GetChild() from my other pane-manager, the child window must already be set!

Hi,
I compared sources with 12.1.1 - nothing that can change this behavior.
XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW called when pane become visible.
 
You can add method that attach panes and call it from CMainFrame::Create and from NotifyHandler.

The behavior might be the same in v12, but I encountered it in v13.

Let me clarify.
XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW is not sent when the the pane's rectangle is empty (IsRectEmpty). This should be documented as it could lead to strange behavior:
 
1) The user changes the size of a pane to zero-height and closes the application.
2) Pane is saved to the Registry.
3) Application is opened and the pane read from the Registry.
4) Since the child-window is created and attached in OnDockingPaneNotify(), the child will not be created until the pane is explicitly resized!
 
Perhaps create/attach should always be made in OnCreate() instead of OnDockingPaneNotify()?
