Hi,

we create a DockAreaPane like this:

  DockAreaPane areaPane = new DockAreaPane(DockedLocation.DockedRight, "MyKey" );

  areaPane.ChildPaneStyle = ChildPaneStyle.TabGroup;

  theDockManager.DockAreas.Add(areaPane);

then we add a DockableControlPane like this:

 DockableControlPane controlPane = new DockableControlPane();

 controlPane.Control = theEditorControl;

 areaPane.Panes.Add(controlPane);

finally we show the controlPane like this:

controlPane.Show();

controlPane.Activate();

However, the pane will *always* come up DockedTop!! I've traced in the debugger right up to the p.Show(), and the areaPane DockedLocation is still showing as DockedRight; once I let the program continue, the pane goes to DockedTop. The application at this point has a variety of the panes already docked, and possibly floating.

This used to work. We're on 8.1. Any ideas what we're doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance
