XpTaskBar fixed size

[Tyler Kohn]

This is probably simple, but I can''t seem to find the answer. I have an XpTaskBar in my application (docked on the left hand side), but i don''t want to allow users to change the width of the taskbar. How would I go about fixing the width? Also I don''t want users to be able to dock it to another edge of the app (I suppose the right side would be ok, but the top and bottom wouldn''t make any sense).

thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responsing.

1) You can fix the width of docked controls by setting the FreezeResizing property.

//Freeze resizing
this.dockingManager1.FreezeResizing = true;

2) You can prevent docking to specific side by handling the DockAllow Event

private void dockingManager1_DockAllow(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockAllowEventArgs arg)
{
if(arg.TargetControl is System.Windows.Forms.Form)
{
if((arg.DockStyle == DockingStyle.Top) || (arg.DockStyle == DockingStyle.Bottom) )
{
arg.Cancel = true;
}
}
}

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Best regards,

Stephen.

OK that was very simple, but why is this property not available in the property page of the VS.NET form designer?

worked great, thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. We will make this a designer property in the next release. Thank you for your co-operation.

Best regards,
