Problem with autohide animation over WindowsFormsHost

Instead of saying "Go find some blog to which we will not post a link" can you put the solution? This is still a problem in 2015 and I'm looking for a way to solve it.

Thank you

I was able to find the blog post. Luckily Bjørnar Sundsbø edited his post so it showed the date. "7 years ago" isn't much to go off of.

For anyone else the solution is to set UseHostedAutoHidePopups to False on the DockSite

<docking:DockSite UseHostedAutoHidePopups="False">
    ...
</docking:DockSite>

Hi Shawn,

The airspace issue is core to WPF since any interop content like WinForms controls will always render on top of WPF content in the same window/popup.  As mentioned in the previous reply from a while back, we have workarounds (more than just that one property too) that are described in detail in the product documentation.  In the 2015.1 version, this topic's path in the documentation is "Docking / Interoperability / WinForms Compatibility".  Please read the topic there since it will tell you what properties to set and why.

In the upcoming 2016.1 version of Docking/MDI (codenamed vNext), we've done major rewriting of the entire product and interop support is further improved, such as splitters will be able to draw over interop content, etc.  In the 2016.1 version (not out yet), the topic's path will be "Docking / Interop Compatibility".
