When a pane is floating, I need to know where I would dock if the user double-clicked the pane to dock it. How can I get this information?

I have found that if I call GetPaneDirection that the value returned is 4 (not one of the values in XTPDockingPaneDirection enum). I see that is because I am floating. The docking pane's IsFloating returns TRUE, as expected.

When I step through the GetPaneDirection code it is fairly complex so I want to avoid a hack and any assumptions that would go with it. This was pretty easy to do with MFC so I assume it is easy to do with CJ but I just have not found the method or call path to returne me the information. But it has to be available otherwise when I double-click the pane, it would not know where to go!
