I've not been able to find a solution to the following:

In the following method, how do I get the ShowPane() to show the pane in an undocked state (pin horizontal)?

void CMainFrame::togglePane(UINT nPaneID)
{
    CXTPDockingPane* pPane = m_paneManager.FindPane(nPaneID);
    if(pPane)
    {
        if(pPane->IsClosed())
            m_paneManager.ShowPane(pPane);
        else
            m_paneManager.ClosePane(pPane);
    }
}

Hello,

try a call to CXTPDockingPaneManager::ToggleDocking() immediately after showing the pane (if the pane is not IsFloating() already).
Or did you mean something else with undocking?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - sometimes can't see the forest for the trees...

The following solution seems to work well enough
The code to empty the message queue is required to avoid an assert if there are no panes open - seems to happen when the docking frame is being adjusted

void CMainFrame::togglePane(UINT nPaneID)
{
    CXTPDockingPane* pPane = m_paneManager.FindPane(nPaneID);
    if(pPane)
    {
        if(pPane->IsClosed())
        {
            m_paneManager.ShowPane(pPane);
            m_paneManager.ToggleAutoHide(pPane);
            EmptyMsgQueue();
            pPane->Select();
        }
        else
            m_paneManager.ClosePane(pPane);
    }
}
