How to add docked (not document) items to use full space of docking manager

[Lorenzo]

Hi,

I'm adding content Controls to my docking manager using code behind and setting.

DockingManager.SetState(control, DockState.Dock);

                DockingManager.SetDockToFill(control, true);

I wanted the SetDockToFill to fill all the space in the Docking Manager, however. it always leaves some empty space. How can I get it so all space in the docking manager is filled?

Hi Lorenzo,

We suggest you to set DockFill property of DockingManager as true to arrange the dock windows to a whole available space in the DockingManager. Please refer to the attached sample and documentation link for your reference.

Is it possible for the docking manager to split the space evenly amongst all children when docking happens?

Hi Carles Steve,

Thank you for your question regarding the docking manager. Currently, when an item is docked, the size of the dragged item is adjusted to match the targeted element. As a result, we cannot ensure that the space for all items is distributed evenly during the docking process. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please let us know!
