Closing a DockingControl somtimes makes the MainForm go to the background

[e.davidse]

I don''t know what I''m doing wrong, but sometimes when I close a floating control the whole app is placed behind other open applications ?

Sorry I can''t put an example on your webside. I have here a code snippet:

I Create a Form And Set it as MDI Container.
Put a DockingManger On it.
Put Two buttons on it
Now add the following code in the click event handlers:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserControl child = new UserControl();
dockingManager1.FloatControl(child, new Rectangle(Cursor.Position, child.Size));
dockingManager1.SetFloatOnly( child, true );
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserControl child = new UserControl();
dockingManager1.FloatControl(child, new Rectangle(Cursor.Position, child.Size));
}

Now You can observe the following behavor:

When the Control is NOT set to FloatOnly
When not moving the Control the contextmenu is NOT working.

When the control is created as float only
Then moved and then closed the mainForm is placed behind other programes.

I have a workaround:

In the OnDockVisibilityChanged
if a control is closing
I set the Focus to the host control.

HostControl.Focus();

This seems to fix the problem.

Hi there,

I have a similar situation, however I don''t think its caused by the docking. Whenever I open a child form (in an MDI environment) bits of whatever is behind the application show through. Also, sometimes when I attempt to double click a tree node (in a TreeViewAdv) that opens a child window, the application looses focus, and parts of it show through with what is behind it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
TERRY ROSSOW
