Hi, is there any reason why if you click over any area of a toolwindow that does not contain an editable control eg the 'Welcome to UIStudio' toolwindow in the dock controls demo, why the toolwindow does not become focused/activated? The only way to for it to receive focus is to click the titlebar of its toolwindowcontainter.
Another probably fairly common scenario would be to place a toolstrip within a toolwindow and adding a button to it. Clicking on this button will not bring the toolwindow into focus.
Is there something I am missing or is there a workaround for this? I am basically after the normal window behaviour of focusing the window (or in this case toolwindow) wherever/whatever is clicked on within it.
The only thing I could think of so far is handling click events to manually activate the parent toolwindow, but this might not always be possible.
