FloatControl doesn''t make new ctrl visible

[Administrator]

This is a change from older versions, in the source you can see that when doing the float it now passes false into the show state.

Is this a bug or do i need to change the way i call the code

public virtual void FloatControl(Control ctrl, Rectangle rcscreen)
{
// Pad the rcscreen value for the floating form''s caption height and border widths
Size bordersize = SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize;
rcscreen.Height += SystemInformation.ToolWindowCaptionHeight + (bordersize.Height*2) + 2;
rcscreen.Width += (bordersize.Width*2) + 2; // The DockHost borders add on 2 pixels

DockHostController dhc = this.GetDockHostController(ctrl);
if(dhc == null)
{
if(this.alEnableDocking.Contains(ctrl) == false)
this.alEnableDocking.Add(ctrl);
// Create a new dockhost for this control and set the initial pos to be floating
DockHost dhost = this.CreateDockHost(ctrl);
Debug.Assert(dhost != null);
dhc = dhost.InternalController as DockHostController;
dhc.DINew = new DockInfo(null, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockingStyle.Fill, -1, 0, DockPreference.None, rcscreen);
dhost.DragRectangle = rcscreen;
dhc.CreateFloatingFrame(rcscreen.Location, false);

as a follow up to demonstrate this problem

if you modify the SimpleCode docking sample and move the call to InitializeDockingWindows into a uttonclick handler

ie create docks etc after the form has been shown then the floating windows will not appear...

i dont think it had thios problem in the 50 build...
