There is a demo here ( http://www.codejock.com/products/dockingpane/tour_17.asp - http://www.codejock.com/products/dockingpane/tour_17.asp ) which promises some neat stuff. Is there a demo/sample in the XTP MFC package which shows these cascading panes?

Thx

Jerry

Any way to make the pane maximize to fill the current monitor when undocked?

Have you looked at the MaxTrackSize property of the Pane object? The help info on it says:
Used to set the maximum size that a Pane can be re-sized to.

And there's an example there, but here's a snippet of that:
'Specifies that Pane B can be no Larger that 130 x 130
B.MaxTrackSize.SetSize 130, 130

So if you set this value to that of your max monitor resolution, when undock it should be what you want. Be sure to set the MinTrackSize though too or else it won't be resizeable.

Sorry, I meant through the maximize button on the docking pane itself.

What I'd really like to see is pane behavior like what's available in VS2010. When a pane is "floated", the pushpin button changes into a min/maximize button. Maximizing the pane causes it to fill the current monitor, and minimizing it restores its previous position.
