Topic: Opening a pane while in a modal dialog

I've got a situation here that I didn't see already on the forum.

So, from within a modal dialog, I'm sending a message to the main frame to open a pane which WAS open but is currently closed. If the pane was previously in a docked state, it opens and shows itself, no problem.

But if the pane had been floating when it was open, it now opens up IN FRONT of the modal dialog. If I try to move the pane at all while the dialog is still open, it crashes the program.

I don't know if it's coming to the front because of focus getting set or what, but is there any way to ensure that it launches behind the modal dialog?

Here's the code I'm using to open the pane. At this point, pPane and pFrameWnd are valid.


if (pFrameWnd)
{
	pPane->Attach(pFrameWnd);
	pPane->SetTitle(CString(String(IDS_MY_PANE_TITLE)));
	GetProgramFrame()->GetDockingPaneManager()->ShowPane( MY_PANE_ID );
}
