Delay loading content of auto-hide ToolWindows

Hi Martin,

I would think that it would work ok but perhaps there is a bug here.  Could you make a new simple sample project that has an auto-hide window and shows the issue, and e-mail that to our support address?  Please rename the .zip file extension so it doesn't get spam blocked.

Also, are you doing this initialization in a DockSite.WindowOpening event handler?  That is typically a good place to do a first-time initialization if the specified tool window hasn't been initialized yet, since it occurs before the tool window is opened into the layout.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I do this inititalization in the IsWindowVisible event handler because I want to create the content only if the toolwindow is going to be first visible. But I found a workaround that works great:

I added a ContentPresenter control as content of the ToolWindow. If first visible event comes in, the content of the ContentPresenter is set to my UserControl and the ToolWindow shows the correct content. 

Do you want to have the sample anyway?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Auto-hide windows render their content a couple layers deep in terms of ItemsControls, but if you initialize them in WindowOpening like I had mentioned, it should work even there.  We don't have an IsWindowVisible event.  Do you mean you're using our DockSite.WindowOpening event?
