The problem I have is that I am trying to host a windows form control in a floating pane. Once you start moving the pane around the control disappears. I am reasonably certain that it is because the floating pane window has AllowsTranparency=true. I would like to set it to false.
I tried creating a new style -
<
Style x:Key="Win" TargetType="telerikDockingControls:RadPane">
<Setter Property="AllowsTransparency" Value="False"/>
</Style>
but I get the error message -
property was not found in RadePane.
could you tell me how to disable AllowsTransparency please?

When a pane goes floating, actually it is placed in a chromeless window. Unfortunately, placing a WindowsFormsHost in a chromeless window is not supported scenario in WPF. If you debug it, you will see that the host is still there, but it is not visible. This is a limitation of the RadDocking at this stage. We sorry for any inconvenience caused.

What we state is not that this property cannot be set to False, but that the Docking control will not work correctly then. We are working on removing this limitation from the Docking control. The first step we did was to remove the big transparent window and host each ToolWindow in a separate window. Before the big transparent window couldn't be made non-transparent as it would cover all the visible area. Currently this limitation is almost removed, but it is not ready yet. Do you still have performance problems with the latest version of RadDocking control for WPF?
