Tabbed windows

[nitin mehra]

I have an issue:
I have 2 types of windows in my application: Browser types and Editor types. In the application the browser type windows appear on the left hand side as tabbed windows and the editor type windows appear as tabbed windows on the right hand side (see screenshot1). Whenever a window is opened, it opens up as a floating window after which it is classified and docked as a tab either on the right hand side or left hand side depending on the type. I am calculating the sizes while docking for the first time. Whats happening is if I open a browser window first and then an editor window the windows get docked correctly as shown in screenshot1; but when I open another browser type window the editor window gets resized to the one shown in screenshot2.
I am using the following method to dock for the first time:

if ((typeof(TrackView) == type) || (typeof(DealView) == type) || (typeof(DTView) == type))
{
width = (int)hostForm.Width * 3 / 4;
dm.DockControl(control, hostForm, DockingStyle.Right, width);
}
else if ((typeof(DealBrowserView) == type) || (typeof(TrackBrowserView) == type))
{
width = (int)hostForm.Width * 1 / 4;
dm.DockControl(control, hostForm, DockingStyle.Left, width);
}

I am using the following method to open any new windows:

dm.DockControl(control, parentControl, DockingStyle.Tabbed, parentControl.Width);

Here the parentcontrol will be a control of the same type as control but not equal to it.

Is there something that I am doing wrong.

Hi nitin,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Thank you for your screen shots.

You can avoid the space using the DockToFill property .

this.dockingManager1.DockToFill = true;

Please refer this sample which illustrates the above:

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

But when i look at the documentation it states that:
The DockToFill option should not be set when the host form is an MDIContainer or if it contains an instance of the DockingClientPanel control

I think the control that I am using is an MDI Container.
