Hi,

While clicking on the AutoHide icon of the toolwindow ,i am getting the belowed exception window.

{"Unable to locate the specified control in the AutoHideHost."}

belowed code is used inside the windowStateChange of that docksite.

if (e.Window.State.ToString() == Constants.AutoHide)

{

ToolWindowContainer con = newToolWindowContainer();

if (toolWindow.Parent != null){

ToolWindowContainer ablContainer = toolWindow.Parent asToolWindowContainer;

if (ablContainer != null){

ablContainer.Items.Remove(toolWindow);

con.Items.Add(toolWindow);

toolWindow.CanAutoHide =true;

baseDocksite.AutoHideRightContainers.Add(con);

}

}

}

Hi Keshav,

That event may firing before everything is finalized for the layout update.  But regardless, the code you are executing isn't good since it will interfere with other things we track internally.

Instead of what you are doing, you can call ToolWindow.AutoHide(Dock.Right), although you may want to "dispatch" it to occur out of band from the WindowStateChanged event handler.
