If the panes are not opaque and you click on a panes title all other panes are hidden but you can still dock the pane to the other invisible panes.
Also I would like to be able to set the opacity individualy for the panes.

Problem occurs in the DynamicPanes sample if you add m_paneManager.SetFloatingFramesOpacity (254); (or less) to CMainFrame::OnCreate.
The problem doesn't occur in my app, but I still would like to set the opacity for each pane individually.

If you have a larger transparent pane and it looses the focus you can see that it turns black before beeing transparent

Could you add a SetFloatingFrameOpacity method to the CXTPDockingPane class, where -1 (default) means the setting from the pane manager should be used?
So the current behavior isn't changed and the opacity could be set individually for each pane.

"If the panes are not opaque and you click on a panes title all other panes are hidden but you can still dock the pane to the other invisible panes. " Can you give more details... Where is problem? You can dock to panes that in AutoHide mode? ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

In the DynamicPanes sample of 10.30 I've added the following line:
 Then run the app and create some panes and undock them:
 If you then move any pane all other floating panes are hidden, but you can still dock the pane to them:
 That is the bug I've found, but please don't forget my feature request. I've different types of panes and I only want to have some transparent, but some not. If you implement it the way I suggested above you won't break any existing code. ------------- Codejock support |

don't know....dont' know... Will make some virtual functions to allow override.
How it must work if 2 panes with different opacity docked in same floating window... which opacity choose? ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I'd say the opacity from the pane that is currently active should be used.

I couldn't find an official reply to this, so I just wanted to mention that I'm running into the same thing. I'd be very interested in any info. Floating panes briefly turn all black when their transparency is turned on. Reproduce: add the line m_paneManager.SetFloatingFramesOpacity(200) to the PaneSample sample. Run it, make one of the panes floating, and then restart the application. The floating pane will turn black for a second before the attached child window has a chance to draw itself. You can also set a breakpoint at the end of CXTPDockingPaneMiniWnd::OnNcPaint to see the black pane clearly. I traced it back to DrawFloatingFrame; for some reason the use of double-buffering (CXTPBufferDC) causes a problem when the frame window has the WS_EX_LAYERED style. |

Was this fixed in 10.4? Will it be possible to set the opacity individually? ------------- Codejock support |
