unhiding and unclosing panes bugs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

We have a scenario where we need to be able to add and remove panes (which are normally tabbed).  To remove, we call ClosePane, which works great.

However to have the thing come back again, how do we do that without activating it or changing the currently selected tab?  

If we call ShowPane on it, it becomes shown.  We don't necessarily want this (e.g. if it is behind another pane).  We just want the tab shown.

Need an OpenPane call, which just puts the tab back. E.g. does an undo on the ClosePane, and nothing else.

Also, redrawpanes doesn't work.  We have a browser window in one pane, which when we call NavigateTo on it, forces itself to the top of the Z-order, even if it's in a tabbed pane behind another.  This means that the tabbed pane on top of it then shows the browser window (incorrect).  We tried to force redraw of all panes, but this didn't actually redraw the children in the panes (so did nothing).

How do I do this?
