Is this correct way of creating docking panes?

   Hi ,

My application is creating 6 panes following this procedure .

1. Create new Dialog box  object 
2. Create new Dialog box 
3. Use Dialog box id in  create Pane  function 

It creates 6 panes following the same procedure ...After this it attaches all panes . 

1. m_pControlDlg = new CMControlDlg(m_pSetupAutoRun,  m_pStatusMessage, m_pParent);

2. m_pControlDlg ->Create(IDD_AutoRunStatusDlg, 

    //dock autorun status dlg
3.    bRet = m_pDockingPaneManager->CreatePane(IDD_AutoRunStatusDlg, rectDialog,MdockBottomOf);

When I undock this 6 pane container It doesnot let me switch between panes . It locks up . 
Do you think It is happening  because of above wany of creating panes?

	I don't know if this is the best way, but I use CFormView for dialogs in panes. I create the pane in OnCreate: CXTPDockingPane* pwndPane = m_paneManager.CreatePane(IDR_PANE_FIND, CRect(0, 0,100, 100), xtpPaneDockLeft); I create the form view in OnDockingPaneNotify: LRESULT CMainFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { if (wParam == XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW) { CXTPDockingPane* pPane = (CXTPDockingPane)lParam; if (!pPane->IsValid()) { switch (pPane->GetID()) { case IDR_PANE_FIND: m_pwndFind = (CMyFormView )pPane->AttachView(this, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyFormView)); //... } } return TRUE; } return FALSE; }
