How to change auto hide behavior of TabbedWindow in WPF DockingManager?
2 mins read
The AutoHideTabMode property of WPF DockingManager allows to autohide the tabbed dock window in two different mode such as AutoHideActive and AutoHideGroup.
When AutoHideTabMode property is AutoHideActive, it makes the current tabbed window to autohide.
When AutoHideTabMode property is AutoHideGroup, it makes the whole tabbed window to get autohide.
This code shows when the AutoHideTabMode property is AutoHideActive.
