How can you disable the ''Tabbed Document '' option for docked controls

[Guy Mahieu]

In an MDI form using TabbedMDIManager and a DockingManager, I want to prevent the 'Tabbed Document' option from appearing in the docking ropdown of the docked controls. Is there an easy way of achieving this?

Hi Guy,

This could be achieved by handling dockingManager1_DockContextMenu and dockingManager1_DockAllow events.

Here is the code snippet:

private void dockingManager1_DockContextMenu(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockContextMenuEventArgs arg)
{
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.PopupMenu p = arg.ContextMenu;
p.ParentBarItem.Items[2].Visible = false;
}

private void dockingManager1_DockAllow(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockAllowEventArgs arg)
{
if (arg.DockStyle == Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockingStyle.Tabbed && arg.TargetControl == this )
{
arg.Cancel = true;
}
}

Herewith I have also attached the sample. Please have a look at the sample and let me know if it helps.

Thanks, it looks like it works. I decided to disable the context menu for the dockingmanager altogether though.
