SetIcon Does Nothing

[Wesley Witt]

I am trying to get an icon set in the header of my docked windows. After calling SetIcon there is no icon displayed in the header. Is there some other property i need to set?

Here is what I'm going:

XAML:

        <syncfusion:DockingManager Margin="0" Grid.Row="2" x:Name="dockingManager" />

C#:

        private Brush CreateImageBrush(string imageName)

        {

            ImageBrush brush = new ImageBrush();

            BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage();

            StreamResourceInfo sri = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri(imageName, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

            bi.BeginInit();

            bi.StreamSource = sri.Stream;

            bi.EndInit();

            brush.ImageSource = bi;

            return brush;

        }

        private void CreateNewDockWindow(System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl window, string headerText, string imageName, DockSide side)

        {

            this.dockingManager.BeginInit();

            this.dockingManager.Children.Add(window);

            DockingManager.SetState(window, DockState.Dock);

            DockingManager.SetSide(window, side, DockState.Dock);

            DockingManager.SetHeader(window, headerText);

            DockingManager.SetIcon(window, this.CreateImageBrush(imageName));

            this.dockingManager.EndInit();

        }

Here is a simple app that shows the problem.

Hi Wesley,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have checked the reported query in your updated sample. We can use SetIcon attached property of DockingManager in Document and Tabbed dock windows only. So, we have prepared the sample to meet your requirement. In this sample, we have edited the HeaderTemplate of DockingManager to set Icon for Dock window. Please find the sample from the following link.

Sample: WpfApp1

Thanks for the response.

In looking at the code you posted I see that it does not do exactly the same thing as my code. Specifically the icon is set statically in the xaml. My requirement is to set the icon dynamically via code when the window is created. If the icon is set in the xaml as you provided then every window would have the same icon. I want to have different icons for different windows. I removed the image source from the data template but that doesn't work because the seticon() call does not work. 

How can I achieve my requirement of having a different icon based on the window I'm creating? Is it possible to apply different header templates to each window dynamically when it is created?

I was able to add code that dynamically creates the header template with each window creation (see attached file). Works great.

I suggest adding something like this to your samples.
