Hide individual tabbed MDI when in Document state

Hi Miles,

You cannot use normal Visibility properties with Docking/MDI.  Instead, you need to use methods like Close() and Open() to properly remove from and add back in a docking window to the layout.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, yeah I worked out the Visibility properties doesn't work the same as it does regular TabItems in a TabControl.

By setting AreDocumentWindowsDestroyedOnClose to false, using Close(), Open() and a bit of extra control logic to manage what documents I want to display/hide resolved my problem.

Many Thanks

Miles

Hi Miles,

Yes we need to be able to control the Visibility property ourselves so what you did is fine.  Note that you can also bind to the document's IsOpen property instead of doing Close() and Open().  That will effectively call those methods when it changes.
