How do I tell if a toolwindow is hidden?

[F5F5F5]

Hi
I have a RadDock control with a number of ToolWindows on it. The ToolWindows have CloseAction set to Hide. The user can "open" or "close" a toolwindow from a state button (and also a checked menu item). The state of the button (and the check on the menu) should indicate the whether or not the ToolWindow is displayed. Is there a way to tell if a ToolWindow is hidden programmatically?

Thanks

Hi Alan,

You can check the DockState property of ToolWindow and use Hide/Show methods to change the visibility of the window:

if (toolWindow.DockState == DockState.Hidden)
{
    toolWindow.Show();
}
else
{
    toolWindow.Hide();
}

All the best,
