The example mvvm application does not keep track of its anchorables (once it is closed it is gone).
But most apps are more like Visual Studio. If Solution Explorer is closed, the user may want it back. (I think that is why if it is closed it is really just hidden by default.)
I assumed that if I set the ActiveContent to be a closed anchorable it would cause it to show up. (It does not.)
But more than that, I cannot find any (good) way to cause an Anchorable to be shown again once it has been hidden.
Especially if it was the last one in its Anchorable Pane.
Am I wrong? If so I am sorry for the bug report, but I have looked fairly hard and tried many things.
(Also, if I am wrong, I would really love a hint on how to get an anchorable back once it has been closed/hidden.)

OK, so I had a simple binding error (funny how you can look and look and not notice those).
I was able to use the visibility/active properties to get the functionallity I am looking for.
