Regarding DockingManager

[FARZIN]

Hi,

I have opened a form as a tab in dockingmanager as follows:

            frmtest doc = new frmtest ();
            doc.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
            this.dockingManager1.SetEnableDocking(doc, true);
            this.dockingManager1.SetDockIcon(doc, 0);
            this.dockingManager1.SetDockLabel(doc, doc.Text);
            dockingManager1.SetWindowMode(doc, WindowMode.Document);
            dockingManager1.DockAsDocument(doc);

Now I would like to open a modal form from the above opened form as a tab next to this form. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi FARZIN,

In further analyze, Model form can’t be added as child to the control. It will be depending on the parent control by using the ShowDialog method. So, we can determine the model form as mentioned in the Microsoft Documentation. Please check the link for the more details,

Hi,

Is there a way to hide the mazimize and menu button on a floating panel?

I've tried :

            dockingManager1.SetCloseButtonVisibility(panelSubMenu, false);
            dockingManager1.SetMenuButtonVisibility(panelSubMenu, false);
            dockingManager1.SetAutoHideButtonVisibility(panelSubMenu, false);
            dockingManager1.MaximizeButtonEnabled = false;
            dockingManager1.EnableContextMenu = false;

Hi Farzin,

You can be able to achieve the “Hide the Menu and Maximize button in Float panel” requirement by using the Caption button collection in the StateChanged Event. Please find the attached code snippet below,

Code snippet: 

dockingManager1.DockStateChanged += DockingManager1_DockStateChanged;
private void DockingManager1_DockStateChanged(object sender, DockStateChangeEventArgs arg) 

        { 

            if(arg.NewState == DockState.Float) 

            { 

                for (int i = 0; i < this.dockingManager1.CaptionButtons.Count; i++) 

                { 

                    if (this.dockingManager1.CaptionButtons[i].Name == "MaximizeButton" || this.dockingManager1.CaptionButtons[i].Name == "MenuButton") 

                    { 

                        this.dockingManager1.CaptionButtons.RemoveAt(i); 

                    } 

                } 

            } 

        } 

Please check the code snippet in the StateChanged event and let us know your concerns about this. We are happy to assist you.
