This seems to be the WindowsFormsHost that is the culprit. I loaded a RichTextBox into it and same thing happened, the pane was behind it. I took it out and loaded an image into the myGridHost.Children.Add(myImage) and it worked, the pane was in front. If its myGridHost.Children.Add(myWindowsFormsHost) then its no good. The grid is the content of the pane, but the grid child is the WindowsFormsHost.

I need to load the property grid into the WindowsFormsHost, is there a work around for this or a property to set?

Thanks for your time.

I've attached Window1, just in case...

Thanks!!

Did it cut this off for you?

There are 2 items to paste XAML and code behind. If you notice the bottom panes are fine when min and restore.

Then you click the "Load Host" button in the left ToolTray and now the bottom panes are behind the loaded WindowsFormHost content of the RightPane2 when min and restored..

If you move the screen up and down you can see it disappearing behind the content of RightPane2. If you need me to supply the sample project zipped up let me know.

Thanks! SDI
