Custom Caption Buttons for Floated Windows?


I was able to add custom caption buttons to the title bar of docking windows. However, when the docking window is floated, all title bar buttons disappear and only the 'X' button is left. I need to have the custom caption button also show up when the docking window is floated. How can I do this?

Hi Dave,

Currently we don't have custom caption support for the floating forms. But it is one of the priority features that we have planned to implement in future releases.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Mano

Is there any progress on this issue? It is becoming a problem for us. If this feature will not be added soon, could you give some hints on how I might work around this?

Just adding that I too am waiting for this feature. Having the custom buttons on only docked windows is a bit ... lame :p

Dave, just to update you on the feedback I recently received via Direct-Trac:

"We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases."

So I hope you haven't been waiting all this time since May, but if you have hope might be on the horizon :)

I'm planning to add a custom button too. We actually made the control floating by default because we want to give the user the freedom to dock as per the need. I observe that there is only 'X' button and only upon docking, other caption buttons show up.

Is this feature in place ?

Hi Murali ,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

The feature 'Custom caption support for the floating forms' is expected to be available in our next Essential Studio 2009 Volume 2 major release which is scheduled in the third week of April. We will let you know once this feature is available.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Jaya

I find that myPanel will only come up with this new button and not the defaults. Once I open another panel that is docked in the same docking manager, the first myPanel repaints with the standard buttons + custom button.
I want the standard + add one custom button.

Any hint here please ?


CaptionButton filterButton = new CaptionButton(CaptionButtonType.Custom);

filterButton.ImageIndex = 1; filterButton.TransparentImageColor = Color.Transparent;
CaptionButtonsCollection bbs = new CaptionButtonsCollection();
bbs.Add(filterButton);
dockingManager1.SetCustomCaptionButtons(myPanel, bbs);

Hi Murali,

Thanks for the update.

SetCustomCaptionButtons method used to set different custom caption buttons for each docked control.

If you want to add same custom caption button for all docked controls, add that custom caption button to the docking manager as follows.

[C#]

this.dockingManager1.CaptionButtons.Add(filterButton);

Please let me know if this helps you.

Regards,
Jaya

So is this feature in the latest 2009 Vol 2 release?
If so, please tell me how I access it.

Hi Dave,
