Setup a initial size of a SplitContainer in a host - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Frank

We have a simple test app with a DockControl and a TabMdi and a Toolwindow:
(xaml)
<docking:DockSite Name="dockSite1">

<docking:SplitContainer Orientation="Horizontal">
<docking:ToolWindowContainer>
<docking:ToolWindow Title="Tool Window 2.1" />
</docking:ToolWindowContainer>

<docking:Workspace>
<docking:TabbedMdiHost x:Name="tabbedMdiHost" />
</docking:Workspace>
</docking:SplitContainer>

</docking:DockSite>

1) How can i set the width of the Toolwindow in xaml?

2) the user can resize the the toolbar with the splitter. Hwo can i save the layout and load when the app is closed and restarted?

1) Try setting the attached DockSite.ControlSize property to the tool window container like:
<docking:ToolWindowContainer docking:DockSite.ControlSize="150, 200">

We'll add some documentation on this too.

2) There is a "Layout Serialization" topic in the help that explains it. Also the main features demo has a Layout document tab that shows how to do the layout save/load.
