Pane->IsHidden() Misbehaving

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When a pane is not pinned, the IsHidden() method seems to be misbehaving.  I have added a menu update handler to check or uncheck a menu item to let me know if a pane is hidden or not (forget close for now...that works).
In the menu update handler I check the pane->IsHidden and it always returns TRUE (pane is hidden) even when it's not.  To reproduce, use the PaneSample project (samples\DockingPane\PaneSample).
I picked on PANE5 just to make this simple.  Add a message map for the menu update in the cpp file as follows:

ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(IDR_PANE5, OnUpdateUI_Pane5)
Add the prototype to the header file:

afx_msg void OnUpdateUI_Pane5(CCmdUI* pCmdUI);
Here's the handler for the cpp file:

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateUI_Pane5(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)

{
     BOOL bChecked = TRUE;
     CXTPDockingPane* pToolBeltPane = GetDockingPaneManager()->FindPane(IDR_PANE5);
     if (pToolBeltPane)

     {
          TRACE("\n\nPane States\n");
          BOOL bClosed = pToolBeltPane->IsClosed();
          BOOL bFloating = pToolBeltPane->IsFloating();
          BOOL bFocus = pToolBeltPane->IsFocus();
          BOOL bHidden = pToolBeltPane->IsHidden();
          BOOL bSelected = pToolBeltPane->IsSelected();
          TRACE("Pane Closed: %d\n", bClosed);
          TRACE("Pane Floating: %d\n", bFloating);
          TRACE("Pane Focus: %d\n", bFocus);
          TRACE("Pane Hidden: %d\n", bHidden);
          TRACE("Pane Selected: %d\n", bSelected);
     }
}
Run and watch the output window.  Make pane5 un-pinned and visible (not hidden).  Now go to the menus: Docking Pane / Pane 
You'll see the results.

	Strange. I see "Pane Hidden: 0" when it is not pinned.
