WPF windows as a child ContentControl of dockingmanager is possible?

[Matteo]

I'm new in wpf and dockingmanager, I have played with the demo code. I've an existing application in WPF(not MVVM), with 3 window; There is a way to use theme as child content for the dockingmanager( that I will place in another main window)?

Hi Matteo,

We're not sure what you're trying to accomplish with the window as a child's content in Docking Manager or any UIElement as a child. If yes, you are using the window as child content in Docking manager. It is not possible to use as child in any component in MS control. If we are misunderstood the query, Please share more details about the query that you trying to achieve in Docking Manager.

The best practice for docking manager is to fill it with user control or pages? I've seen both in the examples published in this forum.

Hi Matteo,

In DockingManager, We can use the child control as ContentControl, UserControl or any control. We have prepared the sample for the docking manager. Please find the sample from the below,

This is very usefull form thanks.

Can I ask if you have the same sample using Caliburn Micro MVVM but in vb.net? I'm new in MVVM, and I've tryed to port one example that I founded in the forum but without luck, if there is a very simple(only one or two child) sample of WPF docking manager with caliburn micro in vb.net, it would be wonderful.

<p>Thanks, but I'm working in VB.NET, not c#, I've tryed to translate it to vb.net myself, but I can't translate this: AdapterDockingManager = (((App.Current.MainWindow as ShellView).Docking.Content as DockingAdapterView).DockingAdapter.Content as Grid).Children[0] as Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls.DockingManager;

from dockingmanagerviewmodel.cs</p>

[Matteo]

Can you provide an example in VB.net with using caliburnmicro with simple container, please?

I tryed it but I get may errors, nevermind.

My team won't use caliburnmicro anymore since will not developped anymore, it's dockingmanager compatible with Stylet MVVM framework?

[Matteo]

Hello, I'm struggling to implement docking manager with this MVVM framework:https://github.com/canton7/Stylet, that you already see in other my samples.

Can you provide a sample in VB.NET( .NET CORE) using the framework that I've linked ( https://github.com/canton7/Stylet), with only 2 empty child window( one with red background and one with green), WITHOUT using other library like Microsoft.Practices.Composite.dll.

please?
