maximize button - docked window

Dear all,

I need to have the maximize/restore button of a docked window to be always visible, not just in the case of the window being docked next to another one. Is there a humane way of obtaining such functionality? :-)

Thankful in advance,
Vladi

Hi Vladi,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

The maximize/restore button of a docked window is visible within another docked control window by setting the dockingManager's MaximizeButtonEnabled as true. Please refer to the following code snippet.

[ C#]

dockingManager1.MaximizeButtonEnabled = true;

Could you please let us know which type of functionality you are expecting?

Hi, Rajesh

Thank you for your response. It is clear how to introduce the maximize button into a docked window. From what I have seen, setting MaximizeButtonEnabled to true introduces this button only in case there are two windows docked next to each other. I would like to know if there is a way to have it displayed unconditionally. For instance, the button should be there in case there is just one docked window in the client area of the application window. The idea is to override the event handler so that the behavior of the maximize button is the same as that of an MDI window with respect to all docked windows in the client area (regardless of their position on the screen).

Looking forward to your reply,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,

We have added a new feature 'Custom Caption Buttons' with 5.1 version. This allows user to add new caption button. You can find more about CustomCaption button from the following link.
