DockingManager: Custom CaptionBackground PER Caption

[ERobishaw]

Dockingmanager1.InactiveCaptionBackground can be globally set for all docked controls.

Is it possible to set a specific control's docking area's background ?

Something like dockingManger1.SetCaptionBackground(control)?

Also, is setting custom floating captions coming any time soon?

Hi ERobishaw ,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can set caption background color for particular control . You have to handle ProvideGraphicsItems event. Please use the following code snippet.

[C#]

 private void dockingManager1_ProvideGraphicsItems(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.ProvideGraphicsItemsEventArgs arg)
        {
 if(arg.Control is Panel)
            arg.CaptionBackground = Brushes.YellowGreen;
if (arg.Control is RichTextBox)
            arg.CaptionBackground = Brushes.Red;
}

When the control is in floating state the dockhost  control will be hosted in a floating form and the floating form caption will be same like the owner form of the floating form. Present architecture  of docking manager is not supporting customization of floating form caption.

Please let me know if this helps you.
