Try the ShowPane method.

GetDockingPaneManager()->ShowPane(nID);

Where nID is the Id of the docking pane you want to show.

Unfortunately ShowPane(nID) doesn't work with pinned docking windows. It looks like ShowPane assumes the window is already visible.

Have you tried to change the status of the docking pane before you call ShowPane(nID)? Are you saying that the window that the docking pane is attached to is not visible?

Here is the code I use to dock a hidden pane, I could not find an reasonably easy way to slideout a hidden pane and not have it immediately slide back in:


        if (m_paneManager.IsPaneClosed(nPaneID) || m_paneManager.IsPaneHidden(nPaneID))
        {
              if (m_paneManager.IsPaneHidden(nPaneID))
              {
                  m_paneManager.ClosePane(nPaneID);
              }
              m_paneManager.ShowPane(nPaneID);
        }
