  Hi,
  I have a situation here. In my application, I have multiple RadPanegroups with multiple RadPanes and all of them are pinned on UI by default when the app loads. But whenever I try to move the Pane(make it floatable) the contents of that pane just do not show up. And when I pin the pane back on the UI somewhere the elements show up. I have a RadMap in one of the Panes and a DataGrid in another. I have the same problem with both of them. When I make them float on the screen, the map and the grid disappears. They appear back when I dock them in the UI.
  Am really not sure whats causing this problem. Can anyone shed some light on this?
  
  Thanks,
  Vidyadhar.

  Hello Vidyadhar,

  I tried to reproduce the problem, but to no avail. Please, refer to the attached sample and let me know if I miss something? If you give us more information about your scenario and/or a sample project that reproduces the problem, it would be of great to shed some light on it.

  Hi Vidyadhar,
  
  I am posting because I was having the same issue and found a resolution here:  Floating Pane Loses Bindings.
  
  Basically the workaround is to suscribe to the RadDocking PaneStateChanged event and set each panes datacontext there:
  
  

  private void radDocking_PaneStateChange(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)

          {

              foreach (RadPane pane in radDocking.Panes)

              {

                      if (pane.DataContext == null)

                          pane.DataContext = this.DataContext;

              }

          }

  
  
  This fixed the issue for me anyway.
