Auto Hiding CDockablePane on creation

I have 3 dockable panes, each containing 1 image. One is on the left, one on the right and one not visible. The problem is, I would like to have the one on the right hidden by default to let the one on the left take the entire space. I have searched through the doc to find I should call the following on my pane, but nothing happens.

ToggleAutoHide();

I don't know what I am missing... here is my creation code in case it helps:

// image docking panel creation
if (!m_wndRawImage.Create(_T("Raw Image"), this, imgRect, TRUE, ID_VIEW_RAWIMGWND, dwPaneStyle| CBRS_RIGHT, AFX_CBRS_REGULAR_TABS, AFX_CBRS_RESIZE))
{
    TRACE0("Failed to create image tab window\n");
    return -1;
}

if (!m_wndRefImage.Create(_T("Reference Image"), this, imgRect, TRUE, ID_VIEW_REFIMGWND, dwPaneStyle| CBRS_RIGHT))
{
    TRACE0("Failed to create image tab window\n");
    return -1;
}

if (!m_wndCalibImage.Create(_T("Calibrated Image"), this, imgRect, TRUE, ID_VIEW_CALIBIMGWND, dwPaneStyle| CBRS_RIGHT))
{
    TRACE0("Failed to create image tab window\n");
    return -1;
}

m_wndImagePane1.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT | CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);
m_wndImagePane2.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT | CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);
m_wndImagePane3.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT | CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT);

CDockingManager::SetDockingMode(DT_SMART);

EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableAutoHidePanes(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);


// image panes
DockPane(&m_wndImagePane3);
CDockablePane* pTabbedBar2 = NULL;
m_wndImagePane2.AttachToTabWnd(&m_wndImagePane3, DM_SHOW, FALSE, &pTabbedBar2);
m_wndImagePane2.ShowPane(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
m_wndImagePane3.ShowPane(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE);
m_wndImagePane3.ToggleAutoHide(); //<---- Problem is here

DockPane(&m_wndImagePane1);
m_wndImagePane1.ShowPane(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE);

Thanks!

For the posterity.

  1. Add new public method to your CMainFrame class:
void CMainFrame::HidePanes()
{
    m_wndProperties.ShowPane(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
}
  1. Call this method from the end of your CMyApp::InitInstance method:
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
    ...
    CMainFrame* pMainFrame = new CMainFrame;
    ...
    
    pMainFrame->HidePanes();
    pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
    pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();
}

if I was understand your problem correctly, you want to hide a pane in app startup.

I use ON_WM_SHOWWINDOW() Message to hide pane. like this:

Add this to CMainFrame Class declaration:

afx_msg void OnShowWindow(BOOL bShow, UINT nStatus);

And add this to Message map:

ON_WM_SHOWWINDOW()

And add this to your main code:

void CMainFrame::OnShowWindow(BOOL bShow, UINT nStatus)
{
    CFrameWndEx::OnShowWindow(bShow, nStatus);

    // Hide Properties pane in startup
    m_wndProperties.SetAutoHideMode(FALSE, CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
    m_wndProperties.ShowPane(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
}

Hope it can help!
