Persisting floating pane position?

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

This is a bit hard to explain, so please bear with me:

In the GUI_Whidbey sample, if I double click on the title bar of the Properties pane, it �pops-out� into its own floating window. I can then move and resize the popped-out window. If I double click on the title bar again, it pops back in to its original position amongst the other panes. But the framework remembers its popped-out size and position; if I now double click the title bar again it pops out to its previous screen position.

I like this feature, and I wish to extend it by having the popped-out size and position be saved and restored between application invocations, *whether or not the pane is popped out when I exit the application*. Right now, if I exit the application while the pane is docked, when I re-open the application and double-click a title bar, the pane will pop out but will occupy the same size/position as when it was docked. I want the pane to pop out to its persisted size and location instead. 

Any hints for how I can go about doing what I want?

TIA

	Hello, It works for me. May be you have some very old version of toolkit? Try DockingPane\Pane sample do you see same problem?
