Topic: (SOLVED) Can't stop Pane hiding

I have a Pane docked to side of the main form. When cursor is put on Pane tab the Pane opens, and
when cursor moves off the pane it hides again. That is all working correctly.

On the form inside this Pane there is a CommandButton. When I click the button it brings up a MessageBox.
I want to click the MessageBox button and then continue with the Pane form.

Problem is that when I move mouse off the Pane to the MessageBox, the Pane closes. I want it to stay open.

I have tried:
    Sub Cmd_Click()
       Pane.options = PaneNoHideable
         MsgBox "Hello"
       Pane.options = 0      'or anything else
       DPM.ShowPane Pane.Id
    End Sub

but this doesn't work. Pane hides as soon as mouse moves off it, and stays hidden after MsgBox button clicked.

Any suggestions please?

Hi Chris,

This is as close I can get:

Sub Cmd_Click()

    wndDockingPanes.FindPane(1).Enabled = PaneDisabled
    MsgBox "test"
    wndDockingPanes.FindPane(1).Enabled = PaneEnabled

End Sub

If you show MsgBox the pane will be disabled anyway so you don't see any difference.

Hope this helps

Thank you. That works great.

(Another way to do it would have been to put some controls on the Pane to use as a "message box", but Aaron's idea is more general.)
