Ah, I just found the xaml that shipped with the product.  Thanks,

 Shane

Blend's "Edit a Copy" functionality has many bugs/limitations so you really should use the xaml we shipped with the product - this is actually the primary reason we include it. For example you'll see that blend output "Command="igDock:ContentPaneCommands.Close"" but it should have been something like "Command="{x:Static igDock:ContentPaneCommands.Close}"". I'm sure there are other things in there as well -e.g. "Style="{DynamicResource PaneHeaderPresenter.CloseButtonStyleKey}" " should have been "Style="{DynamicResource igDock:PaneHeaderPresenter.CloseButtonStyleKey}"" (note the missing xml ns qualifier).

Thanks for the repspone.  I tried using a template to accomplish this but came up with the error:

In the designer.

The template I used is down below.  The only thing I changed for this test was I set the ContentPaneTemplate1 to use the PaneHeaderTemplate1 and set PaneHeaderTemplate1's closeBtn Visiblity="Hidden".

I got this template by using blend. I started a new project, added a ContentHeader to the form, and then edited a copy of its Template.  This may be incorrect, but that is how I came up with the Template I'm using down below. 

One of the ContentPanes below uses ContentPaneTemplate1 as its template.  This ContentPane now looses its images for its pinBtn and positionMenu. They still exist, but all visual aspects to them have been lost.  Any suggestions on where I went wrong?

The template I used was:

Is there a way to make the "close" and "window position" buttons of the content panes to be invisible?

Also, can I make the header of the top dock pane invisible all together?  I am trying to have a tool bar docked to the top of the UserControl, with pinned panes docked on the right and left, but I don't want to display the unnecessary buttons, or show the header at all for the tool bar docked at top as it will never move or be unpinned.

I can disable them through properties but they are always present. Also, can I make the header of the top dock pane invisible all together?  I am trying to have a tool bar docked to the top of the UserControl, with pinned panes docked on the right and left, but I don't want to display the unnecessary buttons, or show the header at all for the tool bar docked at top as it will never move or be unpinned. Thanks for any help
