DockingManager abilities

[Rouslan Vorobiov]

Hello

I have 4 controls in UI of my application.
I'm using a DockingManager and all of the controls are docked as matrix.
I want to swap left top control with bottom right one.
For this aim I use DockControl method of DockingManager but controls are not docked as I need.
What is the right way to make a correct swapping?

Another question is how could I use the DockingManager but prevent from user the ability to drag controls?

Thanx a lot!

Hi Corrado ,

Thanks for your interest in SYncfusion products.

1. If your intention is to change the order of the controls in dock layout then please refer to the following code snippet.

[C#]

            DockHost dh = this.panel1.Parent as DockHost;
            DockHostController dhc = dh.InternalController as DockHostController;
            DockInfo di = dhc.DINew;
            di.DP = DockPreference.Vertical;//.Vertical;
            di.nDockIndex = 2;
            di.nPriority = 0;
            dhc.DINew = new DockInfo(di);
            dhc.ApplyDockInfo();
            di.dController.AdjustLayout();

            DockHost dh1 = this.panel3.Parent as DockHost;
            DockHostController dhc1= dh1.InternalController as DockHostController;
            DockInfo di1 = dhc1.DINew;
            di1.DP = DockPreference.Tabbed;//.Vertical;
            di1.nDockIndex = 0;
            di1.nPriority = 0;
            dhc1.DINew = new DockInfo(di1);
            dhc1.ApplyDockInfo();
            di1.dController.AdjustLayout();

2. You can prevent the dragging of dock control by handling the DragAllow event. Please refer to the following code snippet.

[C#]

 private void dockingManager1_DragAllow(object sender, DragAllowEventArgs arg)
        {
 if (arg.Control is Panel)
            {
                arg.Cancel = true;
            }
}

Please let me knwow if you have any questions.

Regards,
Nagaraj
