The following code does not work for Toolwindow in a radDock. The intriguing part is that it works when am debugging the application not when I run it. Could any of you please help.

private void toolWindow1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            toolWindow1.Hide();
        }

Thank You
Bob

Hello Guy,

Just change your code to:
private void toolWindow1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    toolWindow1.AutoHide();
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Hi Emanuel

This is not what I am looking for.
I am trying to minimzie the toolwindow when the mouse leaves the toolwindow and if the user wants he can maximize it again.
I am using RadControls for WinForms Q1 2010.

Hello again Bob,

In the latest version it is working just fine...

I don't know about the old versions because sadly i cannot test it on that one.
I would suggest updating to the latest version for this fix and a lot more other fixes.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Hi Bob,

I am not quite sure that I understand the meaning of 'minimizing' a ToolWindow. RadDock supports AutoHide windows. These windows show up and become active when you hover a tab item placed near the border of RadDock. If the user activates another ToolWindow, the AutoHide window slides out and becomes a tab item again. If you call the Hide method of a window, you will not just minimize it, but you will hide it completely from view.

In the version that you are currently using, we have an issue with the Hide method that prevents the window from becoming a hidden window. This issue is addressed in our latest official release Q3 2010 SP1.
