Using Syncfusion docking with CAB

[Jerry Lawrence]

Has anyone used Syncfusion (specifically docking) with the Composite UI Application Block (CAB)? Better yet, is Syncfusion planning to add support for CAB?

Hi Daniel,

I am currently trying to use syncfusion together with CAB framework and my interest is on grid and treeview control.

Thanks

Seb

Hi Daniel,

Control used in CAB framework - recent articles on control from codeproject on dockableCabWorkspace. Interesting example.

Just a quick update. We have a sample but need a day or two to fix some issues with it. We will post the sample soon.

Best regards,
Daniel

[Jerry Lawrence]

Any update on when the sample will be posted?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry, We have a sample that uses Docking with CAB. Please find it enclosed. The sample uses SQL server. Please run the SQL script CABSampleAppScripts.sql and then change connection information in AddressBookModule\DataCollection.cs. We are working on other samples for the CAB and will post these here as they become available. Please let us know if you require any additional information. Best regards, Daniel >Any update on when the sample will be posted? > >Thanks, > >Jerry > >

This solution shows the docking manager in the module rather that the Shell. Is there a way to create a custom docking workspace? When a view is added to the workspace it would be docked automatically.

There is a CustomPanel.cs and CustomSPI.cs file in the download. Are these for creating a custom workspace that supports docking?

Hi Jerry,

We are looking into this and will post an update by Wednesday.

Hi Jerry,

Sorry for the delayed response.

You can use the DockableWorkSpace(Syncfusion.CAB.Workspace.dll) and DockingSmartPartInfo( Syncfusion.CAB.Common.dll) classes to dock a view automatically when it is added.

Add the following code in Shell Form constructor:
//Initialize DockableWorkSpace
private DockableWorkSpace sideBarWorkspace;
this.sideBarWorkspace = new DockableWorkSpace(this.dockingManager1,this);

//Add a workspace in the workitem.
 this.workItem.Workspaces.Add(sideBarWorkspace, "sideBarWorkspace");

You have to add the following code in the Show method in the corresponding WorkItem :

       
DockingSmartPartInfo smartPartInfo1 = new DockingSmartPartInfo();
smartPartInfo1.Title = "My Customers";
smartPartInfo1.ID = this.ID; //If you add the same type of Views for more than one item, you have to add a Unique ID through this SmartPart property.

parentWorkspace.Show(customerSummaryView,smartPartInfo1);

I have attached a sample with the Source code of the DockableWorkSpace and DockingSmartPartInfo. Please take a look at the sample and let me know if you have any questions.

Does this sample require the CAB Extension Kit or does it include that code?

[Administrator]

Hi Kov,

This sample does not requires CAB Extensibility Kit and it includes the code for DockWorkSpace. If you like to work with CAB Extensibility Kit beta, please open an incident in direct trac and we will send you download instructions.

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.
