Dock Layout Persistance

[Narendra Maharaj]

Hello:
I''m using ver 3.3.0.0; Occasionally the layout manager mis-places windows on startup. On the form-close event I''m calling:

dockingManager.SaveDockState
(appStateSerializer);
appStateSerializer.PersistNow();

And to retrieve:
dockingManager.LoadDockState(appStateSerializer)

Any help will be greatly apprecaited.

I believe that you must load the state in a handler of the docking manager''s NewDockStateEndLoad event - otherwise it will not work correctly. This event will fire again when you load the dock state, so your code must prevent recursive loading.

Hi Narendra, Docking Manager loads the docking windows properties after the Form Load event. If you want to set or get the values for docking windows during application startup, you could use the statement within the NewDockStateEndLoad event. This event will trigger at the end of the Form Load event. Please take a look at this attached sample and let me know if this meets your requirements. We appreciate your interest in Syncfusion Products. Thanks, Vijay. Sample
