This feature has now been added (9.51), take a look at the PaneSample. Run the application and select Docking Pane-> Min Max Sample from the menubar. If you would not like the pane to be sized, you can set both the min and max values to be the same and they won't be able to resize it.

See the Min/Max layout in the Pane sample. For Pane 2 in the OnCreate function comment out the line of code that prevents the Pane from closing.

// Get a pointer to IDR_PANE2 and set the title.
pPane = GetDockingPaneManager()->FindPane(IDR_PANE2);
ASSERT(pPane);
if (pPane)
{
pPane->SetTitle(_T("Pane 2 - No Closeable\nPane 2"));
// pPane->SetOptions(xtpPaneNoCloseable); // Comment out this line.
}

You will also have to remove the entry in the System Registry for the Pane sample. Otherwise Pane 2 will still not be closeable. This registry entry is HK_CURRENT_USER->Software->Codejock Sample Applications->Codejock Docking Pane Sample. Run the application again and float pane 2. Now close the pane. Now Select the Menu item Docking Panes-Panes->Pane 2 to show Pane 2. The pane is still not resizable.

An alternative method to get the sample to work is to comment out the LoadLayout coad to prevent the application from loading the info fro the system registry. This code is in the OnCreate function in the CMainFrame Class.

// If "RunLayout" layout does not exist, save the current configuration
// as "RunLayout", otherwise load previous state.

m_pRunLayout = GetDockingPaneManager()->CreateLayout();
//if (!m_pRunLayout->Load(_T("RunLayout")))
//{
// GetDockingPaneManager()->GetLayout(m_pRunLayout);
//}

Comment out the code shown above and then run the program and follow the steps posted above.
