CXTPDockingPane activation notification?

   Hi,
I am currently evaluating Xtreme Toolkit Pro to see if it is suitable for our company.
I have a view which I have placed in a CXTPFrameWnd (so it can have a toolbar, ala the Advanced demo) and then attached the frame to a CXTPDockingPane.  When I click on the view it's OnActivateView() gets called correctly and the pane title highlights to indicate it is active.
If I click in the pane title of an inactive pane, it highlights correctly but OnActivateView() does not get called for the child view. Furthermore, when a pane/view is active and you click on a different pane, OnActivateView() does not get called to notify it of de-activation either, so basically you only get notified of activation if you click in the view and you never get notified of de-activation!
These problems also occur for views that are attached directly to the pane via AttachView().
My original problem was that I wanted to change the menu when certain panes were active, I have an MDI application and within each child frame I have several panes, some of which need toolbars and preferably their own menu.  I intended to swap the menu when the view (or preferably it's parent frame) was activated and swap it back when de-activated.
Can this be done and if so how?  In any case I'm sure some of my views will need to know when their parent pane is activated/de-activated, is this possible?
