Hide the toolwindow.

Hi Keshav,

If you want to close the window with similar function to clicking the "X" button (the close window in the title) then you should call Close() on the ToolWindow as it is effectively the same process. Then you can do the same process you did before to show the ToolWindow again with Activate().

Hi, I have following code:

  <docking:ToolWindow x:Uid="ToolBoxEigenschaften" Title="{DynamicResource Eigenschaften}" ImageSource="/Resources\png\Toolbox16.png" x:Name="ToolBoxEigenschaften" 
                                            CanClose="False" HasOptions="False" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" >
                            <docking:ToolWindow.Header>
                                <TextBlock Text="{DynamicResource Eigenschaften}"/>
                            </docking:ToolWindow.Header>

                            <DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Dock="Top">

                                <DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Dock="Top" >
                                    <Grid>
                                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                        <Button Name="SaveBtn" Content="    Save    " IsEnabled="{Binding SaveButtonIsEnabled}" Grid.Column="0" >
                                            <i:Interaction.Triggers>
                                                <i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseRightButtonDown">
                                                    <ei:CallMethodAction TargetObject="{Binding}" MethodName="SaveBtnClick"/>
                                                </i:EventTrigger>
                                            </i:Interaction.Triggers>
                                        </Button>
                                        <Button Name="EditBtn" Content="    Edit    " Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
                                            <i:Interaction.Triggers>
                                                <i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseRightButtonDown">
                                                    <ei:CallMethodAction TargetObject="{Binding}" MethodName="EditBtnClick"/>
                                                </i:EventTrigger>
                                            </i:Interaction.Triggers>
                                        </Button>
                                    </Grid>
                                </DockPanel>

                                <DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Dock="Bottom">
                                    <shared:PixelSnapper  x:Uid="shared:PixelSnapper_1" HorizontalRoundMode="Floor" VerticalRoundMode="Floor">
                                        <propgrid:PropertyGrid x:Uid="PropertiesUserControl" x:Name="PropertiesUserControl"  IsSummaryVisible="True" AreNestedCategoriesSupported="True" 
                                                           IsAsynchronous="True" IsEnabled="True" AreDefaultSortDescriptionsEnabled="False"
                                                           AreCategoriesAutoExpanded="False" SelectedObject="{Binding SelectedObject}">
			                </propgrid:PropertyGrid>
                                    </shared:PixelSnapper>
                                </DockPanel>

                            </DockPanel>
                        </docking:ToolWindow>

 What I want is to activate toolWindow with Activate() from my viewModel. Is it possible to make with xaml property or I should create all dynamically, and for ToolWindow set binding to a Content?

Thank you

Hi,

If you want to display the Toolwindow as you run your main application then

Hirarchy should be like this

<docking:DockSite>

<docking:ToolWindowContainer>

<docking:ToolWindow>

 <Grid>

//Content will comes here

</Grid>

</docking:ToolWindow>

</docking:ToolWindowContainer>

</docking:Docksite>

Case 2:  Dynamically load the Toolwindow with th ehelp of the PrismIntegration concept and after that Progranmatcially  you can call the Toolwindow.Activate().

Thank you

Hi Sasha,

If you just mean you want to make a class that is a ToolWindow and open it later on, check out our CustomDockingWindows QuickStart.  That shows how to make a class for a particular ToolWindow, then you can new it up and Activate() it.
