Dock Manager And Active Windows
posted

 Hi,

I have one floating pane and one docked pane. The floating pane is currently active. When I click on the form's title bar that the docked pane is a child of, the docked pane becomes active.

Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? I want the floating pane to stay active. Why does this occur?

    This happens because a pane will deactivate when the form which contains it is deactivated. Since the floating pane is on a form owned by the main form, and the main form takes back activation, the owned form with the floating pane is deactivated and so is the pane. I don't believe there is a way to work around this. You can submit a feature request for the ability to keep a floating pane active when the main form is activated: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
