dropping a window into the DockingStudioDemo

[EXAPT Systemtechnik GmbH]

I'm experimenting with the DockingStudio demo. My application creates a separate window class and I would like to drop this window in place of the content of one of the Docking Document Tab.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products,

To add a form or control as a tabbed document you can use the following code,
this.dockingManager1.SetAsMDIChild(form, true);

Sample demonstrating the usage of DockingManager with TabbedMDIManager is available at the following link,

http://www.syncfusion.com/uploads/redirect.aspx?&team=support&file=DockingMAnager1678956048.zip

You can fine more information on MDI Child Transition at the following link,

Essential_Tools_Windows_User_Guide

Under Tools Controls >> Docking Package >> Concepts and Features >> Advanced Features >> MDI Child Transition

Please let us know if we have misunderstood your query,

Thanks. THis is quite what I was looking for. I'm going to test this.

Would there be a way to do that (binding) in the Windows1.xaml file (ref. SyncFusion Docking Demo) also?

To which "SetAsMDIChild(form,true);" are you refering? Can't find it in the example.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for the update,

If you mean to SaveDockState, We provide support to save the dockstate to XML file and can be done as follows,

AppStateSerializer Serializer = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, "test_persist.xml");
bool loaded = this.dockingManager.LoadDockState(Serializer);

AppStateSerializer Serializer=new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, "test_persist.xml");
this.dockingManager.SaveDockState(Serializer);
Serializer.PersistNow();

Refer the sample at the following link which demostrates the above and the previous post,

http://www.syncfusion.com/uploads/redirect.aspx?&team=support&file=DockingManagerSaveLoadState-1168002843.zip

Please let us know if we have misunderstood your query,

As for putting the binding in the XAML, I think we misunderstood.
I'm refering to

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Syncfusion\EssentialStudio\8.2.0.18\WPF\Tools.WPF\Samples\3.5\WindowsSamples\Docking Manager\Docking Demo\CS

In this example Window1 is the central WPF-window into which the whole docking elements are built.

I have a second Window (Window2) which I want to appear in the tab:

syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Hoops Window"
syncfusion:DockingManager.State="Document"
syncfusion:DockingManager.CanDock="False"
syncfusion:DocumentContainer.MDIBounds="60,60,300,300"
syncfusion:DockingManager.CanFloat="False"
>



There, where Grid Background="Black" is located I would like to hang in my Window2.

Or, as another solution, give that grid a name and use that as the drawing area or make it a canvas or whatever drawable.


Hope you understand me.

Found that SetAsMDIChild meanwhile in the DockingManager Class.

I still have some difficuluties in applying what you meant by using SetAsMDIChild (which is flagged as unknown when using it in the Window1 constructor as a method of the DockingManager class.

Take the WPF DockingManager sample. This is what I would like to extend such that I can use the tab ContentControls as a drawing Window for my application. Presently these tabs are only assigned to resources defined in the WPFControls.xaml file.
