Trouble loading state for the docking panes. Based on the help file and some of the discussion I have read in the forums, I have been using the following, Private Sub Form_Load() 'Only needs to be called if setting the size in Form_Load DockingPane1.RecalcLayout strPanes = RetrieveXMLLayoutPseudoCode() If Len(strPanes) > 0 Then 'Load the docking pane DockingPane1.LoadStateFromString strPanes End If End Sub The panes layout nicely, however when I click on the contents of the panes they disappear! Moreover, the contents of the panes are already in a PictureBox so I know that is not the problem. I can literally query the value for visibility and the visible property will show up as False. Yet, the controls are always supposed to be visible. When I do not execute the LoadStateFromString command, the panes are rock solid. I can double-click on the contents, resize the panes with the splitter, etc. No problems whatsoever. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thank you very much for your feedback. Sincerely, John |

Strange indeed. It is so strange, I could not even reproduce the error for uploading. I must have done something wrong.  The panes are working perfectly with the code I provided in my initial problem statement. I double-click them to make them disappear and they don't. In any case, thanks for the timely response. Sincerely, John |

I am having a similar problem actually. My forms all seem to be invisible as soon as I LoadStateFromString. I have uploaded a sample .NET app to demonstrate the issue. In the sample, move the panes, then hit "Save State". Move the panes again, then hit "Load State". In my environment, the forms in the panes are now not visible. Any thoughts? http://www.sendspace.com/file/zur79z - http://www.sendspace.com/file/zur79z |

OK - new issue. Correcting my error worked beautifully in my small sample project. Now that I have implemented the fix in my production application, I have a new issue. Although I can save values via the SaveStateToString and SaveState methods, neither the LoadStateFromString nor the LoadState methods appear to do anything. I can verify that string and/or registry key is getting created, however, nothing changes when I run the corresponding Load method.
Interestingly, the GetLayout and SetLayout methods work perfectly, but do not provide any way of saving the data.
Uploading my production app is not feasible, but I can copy the string that gets saved if that would be useful.
Any thoughts?

Got it sorted - I had a pane with an ID of 0. I could not get it to load correctly until I changed the pane ID to 1.
