Tabs customization question

Hi Dariusz,

How about if you used these settings:

<sample:MyDockSite x:Name="dockSite" AutoHidePerContainer="False" ToolWindowsSingleTabLayoutBehavior="Show">

And removed this line from MyDockSite.cs:

raftingWindow.TitleBarVisibility = RaftingWindowTitleBarVisibility.Visible;

That setup gets things looking pretty good in general. 

One of the most important features I wanted to achieve is the placement of tabs - I wanted to have them on top (in such case I save vertical space and its very important in my case). So the proposed settings don't solve my problem :-(

Hi Dariusz,

I think the closest thing to what you want would be to leave the sample as-is but change the MyDockSite code-behind to do RaftingWindowTitleBarVisibility.Auto instead (or just take out that line since Auto is the default).

The only negative of this is that if two or more tabs are in the same container, you can't drag the container.  Grabbing a tab will only drag the tab.  But it handles all other scenarios well.

That's true - it's the closest solutions to my needs.

Maybe I could write some event handlers myself to allow for dragging the container? Could you provide me with some tips how to start?

Hi Dariusz,

We don't really expose any special events that would help in this scenario so you might need to use the base ones like PreviousMouseDown, etc. 

The "Docking Window Capabilities" topic in the documentation talks about some programmatic dragging features you can take advantage of, once you find a good event handler scenario to use.
