undock panel with a dialog-style

Jens01

In the Docking-Demo the undocked (flying) panels have such nice panel-style. But in my project -I use the docking-system a longer time- the undocked panels have a windows dialog style.
What must I do to get these panel-style?

Hi,

I don't know why this happens, I just created a small new application, just placing a dock site and some panels on the form. Floating panels looks Ok. 

But, you can check, whether you use a **single** TLMDDockManager, and whether it connected to your main dock site.

Yes, the DockManager.
I put the Dockmanager on my first form (without any Docking). The Docksite on another Form use this Dockmanager. That should be a problem.

Now the Dockmanager is on the same form as the Docksite and it works fine.

Thanks, Jens

Sorry, the problem is back.
When I insert that source in the OnShow-Event of the form with the docking-site the problem with the dialog-style is back :

const
  DN = 'DockingStyle.xml';
var
  style: TLMDDockStyle;
begin
  if FileExists(DN) then
  begin
    style := DockStyles.Add('StructaWoodStyle');
    style.LoadFromFile(DN);
    LMDDockManager1.style := style;
  end;
end;

The "DockingStyle.xml" is the VS2005-style from /tools. I copied and renamed XML and BMP to my project-directory to create in future my own style.

Hi,

I've described your the theory. If the problem is still exists, please send me a small demo app.
