Hi,

One of my users - a lawyer - is getting confused, so I would like to allow him to disable features. Problem here is terminology!

[1] How can I disable docking one pane/dialog inside another but still allow docking to the main frame? Below is a floating pane with two docked dialog windows, this is what I want to disable.

[2] What's the easy way to disable all auto-hide so that I just have docking windows without the auto-hide pin? This is not too essential, I've seen an option in one of the classes to disable this on a per-pane basis, just wondering what you would recommend. Ideally if the user selects 'disable auto-hide' all hidden panes will be shown etc.

Some of my users are very old and confused by auto-hide.

Great work, keep it coming please.

My lawyer user has now worked out how to use this and is a happy bunny, so no need to disable it, but I would still like to know how it may be possible.

In 9.70 appeared method of CXTPDockingPaneManager

SetDefaultPaneOptions

so call

m_paneManager.SetDefaultPaneOptions(xtpPaneNoHideable);

I guess this will work for [2], thanks. I should have seen this myself.

Do you have a solution to question [1]? This is maybe not essential so if it's too tricky we can forget it for now.
