How to tell the dock position changed for a tool window - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by Roger Rong

Just wondering any event/property to indicate that a tool window's dock position has been changed by users by dragging it around, for example when user drag a tool window from the left dock position to right position.

Also I would like to know what is the current dock position.

Thanks in advance.

Had a try, it seems that the "ToolWindowDrag" event of the dockmanager fires when a tool window is dragged to a new dock position.

But how to tell its new dock position? Sorry the "dock position" is a little bit misleading, What I tried to to say was the dock type, for example dock to left or right.

Hi Roger,

Each ToolWindowContainer (which contains docked tool windows) has a RootDock property that says which side the container is docked on. So ToolWindow.ToolWindowContainer.RootDock should work for tool windows docked in the host.

Thanks, that is exactly I am after :).

The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
