Hi Telerik,
When setting a Dock Panel's IsActive property to true, the Panel will "slide" out over top of all other active windows, even if the application is not "Active" or has been minimized. The effect is that the sliding effect will show even when the application is minimized and other applications are active (i.e. Microsoft Word, etc.) and it can become disruptive. Could you please let us know if this is the intended behavior? We'd like the behavior of when setting IsActive to true, to not show the sliding effect when the application is not active or has been minimized.
Is there a property we can set so that the Panel does not appear as "top-most" when setting the Panel's IsActive property to true?
Please advise.
Kind regards.

The observed by you behavior is caused by the built-in FlyoutBehavior of RadDocking and it is an expected one with its current implementation. However, you could easily override that default FlyoutBehavior and prevent the Pane from opening when the Window is minimized and it is not active.
You could create a class the inherits the IFlyoutBehavior interface. Inside the OnPaneActivated method you could check if the Window inside which the Pane is placed is currently not minimized and is active and only then to open the Pane.
Please, check the attached sample that demonstrates that approach - you might need to improve the provided implementation in order to make it work for all your scenarios.
Hope the provided information will be helpful for you.
