set focus to a DockingManager children

[Josep]

Hi folks,

I use this code to open tabs in a DockingManager. It works well for opening new tabs, but does not set focus to an existing opened tab. The code goes to item.Focus() but tab is not shown. What I am doing wrong? Cheers

private void AddTab(DockState ds, object content, string title, string name)
{
for (var i = 0; i < dockingManager.Children.Count; i++)
{
var item = dockingManager.Children[i] as ContentControl;

if (item.Name == name)
{
item.Focus();
return;
}
}

var control = new ContentControl();
control.Name = name;
control.Content = content;
DockingManager.SetHeader(control, title);
DockingManager.SetState(control, ds);
dockingManager.Children.Add(control);
}

Hi Josep,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have checked your code example and found that you're manually setting the focus. Instead of that, we suggest you to set the child as ActiveWindow to gain focus. Please download the sample for the same from below location,
