Hi,
Previously we were using Infragistics4.Win.v14.2 version. The docking panel was hiding in version 14.2 but not in 15.2. It does not auto retract and seems to be pinned.
I have found a method 'UltraDockManager1.FlyIn()' to hide the pane. But I wanted to know Is there any property introduced in v15.2 to automatically hide it which I have missed to assign?
Is it working as designed?
Please find attached document and code sample.
Thanks,
PSR
Hello,
The dock pane will remain visible if it has focus. If an action is performed to take focus away from the pane then it will auto-hide. By default the Panes->Pinned property is set to true which will not make them auto-hide when focus is lost. In order to make a pane auto-hide you need to set its Pinned property to false.
The auto-hide behavior is same between 14.2 and 15.2. In order to resolve this issue, please verify in your 15.2 application if the pinned property is disabled and whether the pane is losing focus when expected to auto-hide.
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks for the reply.
I have created sample projects where I'm not using Pinned property. I'm able to replicate it there.
I'm not able to attach all the samples.
Attaching one more sample project.
After testing your sample and researching further I realized that dock pane not auto-hiding when focus is shifted to modal form is the expected behavior of the pane. Like you mentioned before in order to work around this issue please call UltraDockManager.FlyIn method.
In 15.2 and later versions, the pane auto-hiding behavior is fixed as part of some other feature developer work and there is no new property added to auto-hide it.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello Sahaja,
As you said that this issue has been fixed in 15.2 and later versions, we have upgraded to Infragistics 17.1.
But I'm getting same issue in 17.1 also.
PFA sample project using 17.1 version.
Please let me know if i'm missing something.
Thanks.
