DockingManager issues

I am using Essential studio 3.2.1.0 I am using the docking manager and have set my windows to float and tab upon each other. I create the control programatically and then add it to the docking manager. When I click the tab the control disapears. I can only think it is being docked onto the main form. And I am unable to make it visible again. Is this a version problem or is there a way I can only allow a control to float or tab upon other controls and not the main form?

Thanks

thanks

Hi John,

I was unable to reproduce the issue. We tested this issue with the following sample,

Here is the video file on the steps that I followed in order to test this issue.

Kindly take a look at the sample and provide us with more details to reproduce the issue. This would help us investigate further on this issue.

Well I did figure out that once you double click on a tab it docks with the parent form. I figured out a way to prevent the control to be docked on the main form by using this code

private void dockingManager1_DragAllow(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DragAllowEventArgs arg)
{
DockHost dhost = arg.Control.Parent as DockHost;
DockHostController dhc = dhost.InternalController as DockHostController;
if(dhc.ParentController is DockTabController)
{
DockTabControl docktab = (dhc.ParentController as DockTabController).TabControl;
foreach(DockTabPage tabpage in docktab.TabPages)
{
if(this.dockingManager1.IsFloating(arg.Control))
{
if(!dhost.RectangleToScreen(dhost.TitleBar.CaptionRect).Contains(Cursor.Position))
{
arg.Cancel = true;
}
}
}
}

I can also prevent the caption bar double click by using float only. Is there a way to have the control that is tabbed open up in a seperate window when the tab is double clicked instead of redocking with the parent form?
