Resize docking control in runtime

[Kamil Graf]

Hi all,

I would like to resize a dock control in runtime, no by drag&drop splitter but the clicking on the icon (size up/down).

In the beginning, the dock control is docking to the bottom as 1/3 of the main form height.

I am able to get the information of ChildControllers, DICurrent.rcDockArea, etc. but it isn't enough.

The visible changes appeared when I call the SetBounds method.

if (dockHost.InternalController is DockHostController dhc)

{

    var moveAbout = 50;

    foreach (var child in dhc.ParentController.ChildControllers)

    {

        if (child is DragSplitterController dsc)

        {

            var r = dsc.HostControl.Bounds;

            dsc.HostControl.SetBounds(r.X, r.Y + moveAbout, r.Width, r.Height);

        }

        else if (child is DockHostController dhc2)

        {

            var r = dhc2.HostControl.Bounds;

            dhc2.HostControl.SetBounds(r.X, r.Y + moveAbout, r.Width, r.Height - moveAbout);

        }

    }

}

This solution has side effects, the original line of splitter stayed visible (see attached DockingSideEffect.zip).

Any tips? 

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Kamil
