How to prevent DockingManager from saving state automatically?

[Razvan Herdea]

I am setting the PersistState = false and still DockingManager saves the state to the serializer when the form is closing.
I am using AppStateSerializer as a singleton, with binary file mode.
I can prevent this from happening by disabling the serializer, but I am hoping there is a way to have the DockingManager save state only when I call SaveDockState().

Thanks with anticipation

I've never seen it do what you want, why would you keep the serializer open when your are not using it?

I just have a load and save rountine that creates the serializer and then loads/saves, no need to keep a handle to the serializer at all.

ie


Dim memOutput As New IO.MemoryStream()
Try
Dim objDockSerializer As New Syncfusion.Runtime.Serialization.AppStateSerializer(Syncfusion.Runtime.Serialization.SerializeMode.XMLFmtStream, memOutput)
If TabbedManager Then
MainForm.TabbedMDIManager.SaveTabGroupStates(objDockSerializer)
Else
MainForm.DockingManager.SaveDockState(objDockSerializer)
End If
objDockSerializer.PersistNow()
Return memOutput.GetBuffer()
Catch ex As Exception
Return Nothing
Finally
'Always attempt to close the memorystream
Try
memOutput.Close()
Catch
End Try
End Try

Hi Razvan,

Please refer to the sample attached.

In the sample only when the PersistState=true the DockingManager saves the state to the serializer.

Please let me if you have any questions.
