+
+## Description
+
+In a WinForms application that uses RadDock, the DocumentWindow can be detached and displayed on the taskbar, but the ToolWindow, when detached, does not show up on the taskbar. This article explains how to make ToolWindows visible on the taskbar.

+
+## Solution
+
+To make detached ToolWindows appear on the taskbar, subscribe to the `FloatingWindowCreated` event of `RadDock` and set the `ShowInTaskbar` property of the window to `true`. 
+
+````C#
+public Form1()
+{
+    InitializeComponent();
+    this.radDock1.FloatingWindowCreated += RadDock1_FloatingWindowCreated;
+}
+
+private void RadDock1_FloatingWindowCreated(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.FloatingWindowEventArgs e)
+{
+    e.Window.ShowInTaskbar = true;
+}
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Public Sub New()
+        InitializeComponent()
+        AddHandler Me.radDock1.FloatingWindowCreated, AddressOf RadDock1_FloatingWindowCreated
+    End Sub
+
+Private Sub RadDock1_FloatingWindowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.FloatingWindowEventArgs)
+        e.Window.ShowInTaskbar = True
+    End Sub
+
+````
