Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6)
Docking Pane Control 10.3.1

I expeced a problem in my application with my docking panes. Simple sample to show you what I mean:

1. Put a DockingPane-Control on an empty form

2. Copy & paste this:
Private Sub Form_Load()

DockingPane1.Options.HideClient = True

Dim PaneA As XtremeDockingPane.Pane
Set PaneA = DockingPane1.CreatePane(1, 0, 200, DockBottomOf)
PaneA.Title = "myPane"
PaneA.Hidden = True

End Sub

3. Run the application

4. Drag the mouse over the tab on the bottom and lock the pane by clicking the pin. The pane has now the size of the form

5. Now unlock the pane again by clicking the pin.

Try to repeat step four! You will see, that you never again can click the pin because the tab bar is not reachable anymore. It looks like the size of the pane is too big now.

Any help with this would be great.

hmm...

Actually it works as expected... if you set HideClient option, pane will fill whole client..... In your application do you also use one pane which can be hidden? I think if developer set HideClient option, there must be at least one pane that can't be floated and hide.

I'm still testing and thinking about it.
