Is there a way to hide a sidepanel?

[Alan L]

My application has sidepanels left and right holding initially hidden, side tab items.  The hidden items are not relevant when the application starts and the user has not made an initial selection, so I would like to hide them - making them visible only after initial user input in the main window.  Is there a way?

Bugger - Totally missed the DockingManager.SetState(item, DockState.Hidden)

I'm good now.
