How to autohide the dockingchild in WPF DockingManager from codebehind?
To AutoHide the specific docking child of the WPF DockingManager in code behind, the ExecuteAutoHide() method is used.
For illustration, a button is created and the ExecuteAutoHide() method is invoked in the click event. On clicking the button, the ExecuteAutoHide() method is processed and the specified docking child is autohidden in the DockingManager.
The same is demonstrated in the following code example:
XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication24.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="40"/> <RowDefinition Height="*"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Button Name="AutoHideTab" Grid.Row="0" Content="AutoHideTab" Click="AutoHideTab_Click"/> <syncfusion:DockingManager Name="Docking" Grid.Row="1"> <ContentControl Name="Dock1" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Dock1"/> <ContentControl Name="Dock2" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Dock2"/> <ContentControl Name="Dock3" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Dock3"/> </syncfusion:DockingManager> </Grid> </Window>
C#
namespace WpfApplication24
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void AutoHideTab_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//This code is used to represent how to use ExecuteAutoHide method of DockingManager.
Docking.ExecuteAutoHide(Dock1);
}
}
}
The following output shows how the dock child is autohidden on clicking the AutoHideTab button.
