In your sample, you are modifying the control hierarchy to inject a RibbonContainerPanel as the parent of the floating ... 2026-04-24T18:16:38Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123524 Hi, Finally, I created a snippet app that let you reproduce the issue.I created a ticket, number 2EC-317E2431-0001. where I uploaded the code and the video. Could you please help me to locate t... 2026-04-24T12:56:48Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123518 I see..... this of course questions whether the issue is on your dide or on mine. :(I will investigate it. Thanks for help. 2026-04-20T12:00:12Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123516 Unfortunately, we're still not able to reproduce. The currently released Sample Browser does not include an option to toggle if a document can float, but it is easy to add (and will be included in... 2026-04-17T16:46:09Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123515 indeed. your scenario works by me as well.Try this one: create docA (CanFloat= false) create doc1 (CanFloat= true) create doc2 (CanFloat= true) create doc3 (CanFloat= true) note that th... 2026-04-17T05:42:10Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123513 Hello, Thanks for reaching out. I tried testing this scenario in our Docking/MDI's Simple IDE demo, but was unable to reproduce it. In my test, I took these steps: 1) Set one of the document ... 2026-04-16T21:17:56Z af59eacc-d9af-4959-8cc1-0a86fd292121-123512 Hi,Docking UI provides a Menu item "Float All" which works fine when all docked items support floating i.e. they have CanFloat = true. If this is not the case, the command misbehaves in some scenar... 2026-04-16T09:33:16Z 028432e7-9362-4e9a-9b36-cc7f66a9da9f-123464 Thanks for the reply - I will give that a go and let you know how I get on! 2026-03-05T23:38:27Z 028432e7-9362-4e9a-9b36-cc7f66a9da9f-123453 Hi Matt, Thanks for the screenshots in a separate ticket. In those, you have four tool windows auto-hidden on the left, and the text of each tool window tab takes up a good chunk of the vertical... 2026-03-03T19:31:55Z 028432e7-9362-4e9a-9b36-cc7f66a9da9f-123452 Sure, will do. All I mean is that when a tool window group is in an unpinned state, the tabs to select a tool window run vertically along the side (e.g. on the left of the window for a left-docked ... 2026-03-02T21:14:16Z 028432e7-9362-4e9a-9b36-cc7f66a9da9f-123448 Hi Matt, Can you email our support address with a series of screenshots showing an example of this scenario? Ideally you could demonstrate it using our own Docking/MDI demo sample and tell us if... 2026-03-02T21:00:11Z 028432e7-9362-4e9a-9b36-cc7f66a9da9f-123447 Hi, From what I can see, this isn't currently possible so wondering if I can drop a feature request please? I would like the option for tool window tabs to remain in the vertical orientation afte... 2026-03-01T21:13:09Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123377 Thank you for your patience. We have reworked the DockSiteLayoutSerializer to avoid the use of XmlSerializer. The problem with trimming was that XmlSerializer uses reflection to know what to seri... 2025-12-10T22:27:22Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123369 I didn't expect you're making such rapid progress, I'd rather wait for official support. 2025-12-05T03:32:47Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123368 You may not want to spend much time on a custom solution since we plan to ship an AOT-compatible solution very soon and have already made substantial progress. But if you want to keep working on a... 2025-12-04T20:25:56Z 959e7ec1-2aee-41d8-ae92-b126bf8d9916-123363 Hi Dirk, Yes all UI strings in our products are string resources you can browse with the String Resource Browser utility off the title bar View menu in our Sample Browser app. That utility lets ... 2025-12-04T12:13:05Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123367 Thank you for the reply. Luckily it is currently only one tool window we need to save and restore. So we created our own logic for this as a workaround. It seems to work fine in docked state but we... 2025-12-04T04:13:10Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123366 Hi Dirk, Thank you for all of the details. Our current serialization logic for Docking was ported from WPF and uses XmlSerializer. XmlSerializer relies heavily on reflection and, when it comes ... 2025-12-03T20:26:34Z 92c3c96c-3924-474b-a7ef-45ee11de499c-123365 Running with AOT compiled, when calling _layoutSerializer.SaveToFile("layout.xml", dockSite); it creates an empty layout.xml file (im calling it in Closing event but I guess it crashes here and tha... 2025-12-03T15:05:30Z 959e7ec1-2aee-41d8-ae92-b126bf8d9916-123362 Is it possible to change the context menu text of the item "Close All Documents" if you right click on a document header or would we need to purchase the blueprint license for that? 2025-12-03T11:07:00Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123347 Hello, We just posted a "beta.4" preview build of our Avalonia Controls v25.2.2 on nuget.org if you'd like to get the fix now before the official release comes out in several weeks. 2025-11-21T18:26:44Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123344 Thanks for your prompt reply. For now I have set CanFloat=true so I don't accidentally crash my app whilst debugging :) so I can wait for the next release, thanks. Matt 2025-11-20T18:57:05Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123342 Hi Matt, What you are describing sounds like an issue we identified and resolved for the next release while researching the original post here. It was specifically related to the preview window ... 2025-11-20T18:29:55Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123340 Hi, Piggy-backing this thread because I think my current issue is related. When I have a single document with CanFloat=false and I attempt to move it by dragging the tab and release *within the... 2025-11-20T10:48:42Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123331 Hi, Oh, I see. The ViewLocator is repsonsible for this behaviour.Now, I guess, I have the whole picture. I succeeded to fix my production App. All is fine.You may consider the topic as closed.... 2025-11-19T13:09:14Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123321 Our samples were built to use a Data Templates Collection. Avalonia Docs have some good information on how to use them if it is new to you. To keep relevant code together in our samples, we defin... 2025-11-17T19:37:46Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123319 Thank for clarification.I was not aware of the fact that Avalonia caches templates.I did neither know anything about the "View" associated with a "ViewModel" paradigm. Still I am a bit confused..... 2025-11-17T13:31:58Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123317 Thank you for submitting the sample. There are couple of reasons why you are seeing what you're seeing. Your sample is configured the same as the original post above which has the data templates... 2025-11-14T20:50:53Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123316 Thank you for creating a ticket with the attachments. We just sent a reply. Please transition to using the ticket system for this issue as we work toward a resolution. 2025-11-14T19:51:51Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123315 I've created a ticket (Ticket Number: 1BC-30A9A09E-000) and attached video and source there. Unfortunately on my laptop (developer) the issue happens very rarely.It can be observed on some of o... 2025-11-14T08:33:18Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123314 OK.I've created a ticket (Ticket Number: 3AE-30A99A6B-0006) and attached a video and source code there. As you will see, the view model is found correctly in both scenarios, when window is docked... 2025-11-14T07:54:32Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123313 Thank you for reaching out. As you might expect, it appears our machines, so far, fall under the "never" category of being able to reproduce this. Maybe we'd have better luck with your sample pro... 2025-11-13T20:42:41Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123310 Hello, If you need to send attachments, you can either link to an external sharing site or you can use our ticket system. We'd prefer you send the sample project to our ticket system and then we... 2025-11-13T17:15:54Z a1275c64-b3ed-47cf-a377-9c7dcdcfcf9c-123308 Hi, create a docking document with "CanFloat = false" and try to drag it out -> this may lead to serious sides effects it deadlocks the main-window -> the application is not responisve ... 2025-11-13T12:23:35Z 7f8198e6-7a3e-4f1f-ad86-2890bc2e09e6-123307 Hi, docking tool- and document- windows works fine in all scenarions except one:see video below: --- well, I don't know how I am supposed to attach a mp4 video file here --- Neither cannot pa... 2025-11-13T11:26:31Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123266 not a problem. I've learnt a lot from our conversation.thanks! 2025-10-21T18:53:23Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123265 Excellent, and sorry for the partially incorrect solution. I confused our WPF-based solution (which explicitly uses the DockSite type) with the Avalonia-based solution that uses GetType() method. ... 2025-10-21T14:44:49Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123264 I succeeded to inject a border around the DockSite.Hopefully I will succeed to create a Ribbon as well :)If I will need your further assistance, I will let you know, otherwise I will close the topi... 2025-10-21T14:22:01Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123262 FYIthis did not help: protected override Type StyleKeyOverride => base.StyleKeyOverride; but this one does: protected override Type StyleKeyOverride => typeof(DockSite); Thanks! ... 2025-10-21T08:17:20Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123261 The most likely cause is the implicit DockSite style not being applied. In Avalonia, the default behavior of each control is to use the control's type as the style key. When you create a derived ... 2025-10-20T18:30:31Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123260 OK. I played araound a bit and I am stacked on the following problem:To reach the DockSite.InitializeFloatingWindow method, I have to subclass the DockSite. right?So I created following class: pub... 2025-10-20T06:09:04Z db6abfa9-563e-4981-9203-40a827fb324e-123259 Hi,Thank you for in detail explanation.I will follow your suggestion and let you know if it works to me.

I tried to use auto-hide tool window as Pane, but Tab Strip is always visible. Is there any way to hide it? 2025-09-26T08:47:35Z 96eabb31-bd18-472e-9c0a-905d39d95779-123169 Thanks, the beta version works, it does not recreate View for same ViewModel 2025-09-15T00:21:05Z 96eabb31-bd18-472e-9c0a-905d39d95779-123167 Hello, We had a typo in the previous reply and thank you for the additional information.
