How to set the height and width of the usercontrol registered as toolwindow using Prism Integration.

Hi Keshav,

You would need to call DockSite.SetControlSize(toolWindow, new Size(150, 150)) on your ToolWindow before opening it. In our Prism example, this would need to be done in the IDockingWindowInitializer.Initialize method of the associated view model.

Hi,

From the  function Docksite.SetControlSize(toolWindow, new Size(150, 150)) used in the Initialize function of the IDockingWindowInitializer,I am not able to set the height of the usercontrol which is registered as the toolwindow in the main shell with the help of the PrismIntegration with docking.I can set only width of the usercontrol from the above function in the main shell.

Code used.

public void Initialize(DockingWindow dockingWindow, objectitem)

{

if (dockingWindow == null)

thrownewArgumentNullException("dockingWindow");

dockingWindow.Name ="AblationToolWindow";

dockingWindow.Title ="Abaltion View";

ToolWindow toolwindow = dockingWindow asToolWindow;

DockSite.SetControlSize(toolwindow, newSize(50,10));

dockingWindow.ImageSource =newBitmapImage(newUri("/Resources/Images/SolutionExplorer16.png", UriKind.Relative));

}

public void Open(DockingWindow dockingWindow, objectitem)

{

if (dockingWindow == null)

thrownewArgumentNullException("dockingWindow");

ToolWindow toolWindow = dockingWindow asToolWindow;

if (dockSite != null && toolWindow != null){

ToolWindow relativeToolWindow = dockSite.ToolWindows["VitalToolWindow"];

if (relativeToolWindow != null)

{

toolWindow.Dock(relativeToolWindow,Direction.Content);

}

else

{

toolWindow.Dock(dockSite,

Direction.Right);

toolWindow.CanAutoHide =false;

toolWindow.CanRaft = false;

toolWindow.HasOptions =false;

toolWindow.CanClose =

false;

}

}

Hi Keshav,

If I put that code in our Prism Integration sample, for example in the SolutionExplorerToolItemViewModel class, then I can see that the size is properly applied. The complete method that would be in the SolutionExplorerToolItemViewModel class would be:

/// <summary>
/// Initializes the specified docking window with any associated metadata.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dockingWindow">The docking window that should be initialized.</param>
/// <param name="item">The associated item.</param>
public void Initialize(DockingWindow dockingWindow, object item) {
	if (dockingWindow == null)
		throw new ArgumentNullException("dockingWindow");

	dockingWindow.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Resources/Images/SolutionExplorer16.png", UriKind.Relative));
	dockingWindow.Name = "solutionExplorerToolWindow";
	dockingWindow.Title = "Solution Explorer";
	DockSite.SetControlSize(dockingWindow, new System.Windows.Size(50,10));
}

Keep in mind, that the ToolWindow will only use the specified Width when docked on the left/right sides, and will only use the specified Height when docked on the top/bottom sides.
