Pane not activating

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

   When I switch to another application, the CXTPDockingPaneManager::OnActivatePane method is called to deactivate the active pane. My pane page gets notified of this event.

However, when I switch back to my application, OnActivatePane is not called. My pane page does not get notified. I have to actually click the tab of what I consider the active pane in order for OnActivePane to get called (at that time I can see that m_pActivePane is NULL.

So when switching focus from my app to another and then eventually back, the result is that the docking pane manager has no active pane.

If a pane is deactivated when my app loses focus, why is the pane not activated when the app regains focus?

What event exists to fill this void?
