Open Autohidden Tab when Property Changes

[Giovanni Selvatico]

I have a ContentControl inside a DockingManager with the state set to AutoHidden.

Inside the ContentControl there is a TextBlock with the Text property binded to a string variable in the ViewModel.

Is it possible to set a Trigger in XAML to open (and then close) the Tab whenever the binded property changes without using the code behind?

This is the XAML code

 <syncfusion:DockingManager>

          <ContentControl x:Name="MyTab"

                syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Messages" 

                syncfusion:DockingManager.DesiredHeightInDockedMode="20"                            

                syncfusion:DockingManager.State="AutoHidden"                            

                syncfusion:DockingManager.SideInDockedMode="Bottom">

                <StackPanel >

                    <TextBlock x:Name="DbMessage" Text="{Binding MyMessage}"/>

                </StackPanel>

            </ContentControl>

 </syncfusion:DockingManager>

Hi Giovanni , 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have checked the reported query "Is it possible to set a Trigger in XAML to open and then close the AutoHideWindow without using the code behind?" and then we don't have any other possibilities to open and close the AutoHidden window by the help of triggers. Because there is no direct property to show or hide the autohide window. In our AutoHiddenWindow, we will start and stop animation's based on mouse interactions.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your update.

We have checked the reported query "Is it possible to set a Trigger in XAML to open and then close the AutoHideWindow without using the code behind?" and prepared the sample to meet your requirement. In this sample, we have opened AutoHidden tab based on TextChanged event by the help of SidePanel SelectTab method in DockingManager. Please download the sample from the below link.

Sample: OpenautoHide

If we misunderstood your requirement, please update us brief explanation about your requirement. It would help to proceed further on this.
