Do adorners not work with the DockManager? If I try:
AdornerLayer layer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(mycombobox);
I just get NULL. Works fine when the combobox is not inside a dock manager.

That method just walks up the visual tree looking for an adornerdecorator or a scrollcontentpresenter. The default template for a Window has an AdornerDecorator so that one should have been found. If this is a pane in a floating window then its possible we didn't put one in the template. It could also be that you're trying to do this too early since as I mentioned that method goes up the visual tree so you might try delaying that call until the Loaded event.
