SOLVED: Scintilla and auto hide docking panes

Hi;

I've a Scintilla window included in a CSplitterWnd as child of my main frame.
Whenever a autohide docking pane is shown, parts of the docking window are not drawn correctly, the background of the Scintilla control looks through.
Also when I click into the Sscintilla control while the auto hide docking window is visible, Scintilla draws into the docking pane just before the pane automatically hides again.
I set WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS in all af the windows (mainframe, edit, docking window) but no change in behaviour can be seen.

I don't know what I can do no . Any help is very welcome!

Just a guess, but did you set the styles WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS in the Scintilla window too?

I did see that, but you mentioned the docking window but not the Scintilla child within it (oops, I guess that was the "edit" window).

You may also want to use Spy++ to look at the window hierarchy see if Scintilla has more windows than you expect, and verify that the Scintalla window(s) are actually children (not just owned).

You can also use Spy++ to verify that Scintilla isn't clearing the clipping flags.
