Hi Jacques Sautier,
 
Sorry for the delay being caused.
 
Please download the sample attached with this forum.
 
In the sample we have used the event ‘PreviewMouseDown’ in Docking Manager control. On Double Click we have cancelled this event. Now the double click on header doesn’t change the Window state to ‘Float’.  
 
Please let us know in case of any other queries.

Hi Amr,Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

You can prevent float state when doubleclick on header using following ways.

1.You can restrict Floating the window by setting false to the CanFloat property, but you cannot float the window even on drag and using context menu while using this property.

syncfusion:DockingManager.CanFloat="False"

2. Handling the PreviewMouseDown event of the DockingManager.Please refer the sample for your reference.
