Actipro Docking & MDI is a complete solution for easily adding a docking tool window and/or multiple document interface to your WPF applications. Allow your end users to drag and dock tool windows wherever they please, and to persist their customizations. Also use this product to fill the gap left by Microsoft not including an MDI mechanism in the WPF platform.

Docking & MDI has been implemented with flexibility in mind. It has more options than nearly any other competitive product out there and mimics Visual Studio 2008's capabilities. While it supports all the types of standard layouts you find in most docking window products, it also supports some extended functionality that you won't find anywhere else.

Innovative Features
Dock Guides		Animated Effects		WindowControl		Multiple Themes
Dragging and docking tool windows is as easy as moving your mouse over the dock guides that fade in when hovering over dock targets. The entire docking framework, including dock guides, scales cleanly via the use of vector graphics. [more]		Harness the power of WPF by using numerous built-in animated transitions when clicking tool window tabs (faded-zoom effect seen above), auto-hide flyouts, dock guide fade-in/out, and hosted rafting windows. [more]		To support features like standard MDI and rafting windows, we developed a WindowControl control that mimics the WPF Window but inherits Control and can be animated, transformed, and used in XBAP. [more]		Not only have detailed themes been constructed that match Visual Studio's appearance in all Windows system themes, but we also include three Office 2007-like themes that look great with Ribbon.

Extensive Documentation, Samples and Designer Functionality

While we have spent a lot of time perfecting the design of Actipro Docking & MDI and its run-time capabilities, we also realize that the key to successfully integrating a product of its type into your own applications is that you understand how to effectively work with the product.

We have worked very hard to make Actipro Docking & MDI the most developer-friendly product out there by building:

• Thorough Documentation - Help topics cover all controls and product features in great detail.
• Full Source Demos and QuickStarts - Our Sample Browser includes the full commented source code for 13 samples, including demos that show off end-result product functionality and QuickStarts that focus on individual feature areas.
• Visual Studio 2008 Designer Functionality - Partial designer support via task panes is currently complete.
  
  * We are still working on creating enhanced interactive designer functionality for this product
• Code Analysis Conformance - We scan all our pre-obfuscated WPF control product code through the Visual Studio Code Analysis tool (formerly FxCop) and resolve all warnings to help ensure that our code is well designed and meets official standards.
