Dock Window Drag feature

[Administrator]

Hi,

I've got two requirements,

1. I need to Hide the header of the Dock window while in docked mode and still permit the drag feature to work.

2. But while dragging the header should be shown.

How can i achieve this?

Hi Aishwarya,

Thanks for your interests in Syncfusion products.

Basically we have implemented our Docking Manager control similar to the Dock windows in VS2008 IDE, there you can very well note that the Dock windows are dragged and docked using the header only. In Similar fashion our Docking Manager control behaves.

To make the header of the Docking Control in collapsed state kindly achieve it using the DockHeaderStyle property of the Docking Manager control. It is not possible to drag the dock windows with out any header for the window and it is a valid behavior as per our implementation.

Please let us know if you have any queries.

Regards,
Bala.

Hi,

I was in need of that solution, because i was trying to implement a outlook 2007 style menu bar and toolbar. In this case, i need the dock window header to be in collapsed state when it is docked and while trying to drag the control i need the header to be visible. As u have specified in the previous post, while dragging alone the header should become visible(that is as you specified, the dragging happens by means of header). Only in the float mode and while dragging the dock window header should be visible. May i know if there is any work around to perform the outlook 2007 kind of menu and toolbar docking using syncfusion docking mananger?
