Hello,

I'm in the process of migrating a wpf application from Actipro 15.1 to 16.1

Everything's ok except it seems the new WindowsStateChanged docksite event never raises. 

private void RegisterEventHandlers()
{
_dockSite.WindowsClosed += DockSiteOnWindowsClosed;
_dockSite.WindowsClosing += DockSiteOnWindowsClosing;
_dockSite.WindowsStateChanged += DockSiteOnWindowsStateChanged;
_dockSite.WindowActivated += DockSiteOnWindowActivated;
}

 The 3 others events (Closed, Closing, Activated) raise properly, but I can't make the WindowsStateChanged event to raise (It should raise when I dock/undock manually any toolwindow right?)

private void DockSiteOnWindowsStateChanged(object sender, DockingWindowsEventArgs e)
{
   //Dostuff
}

 My docksite:

        <docking:DockSite Name="PART_DockSite" 
                          Style="{StaticResource DockSiteStyle}"
                          ToolItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ToolWindowStyle}"
                          ToolItemsSource="{Binding ToolItems}"
                          ToolItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource ToolItemTemplateSelector}">
            <docking:Workspace>
                    <docking:TabbedMdiHost>
                        <docking:TabbedMdiContainer x:Name="documentContainer"/>
                    </docking:TabbedMdiHost>
                </docking:Workspace>
        </docking:DockSite>

Any idea? Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

In the 2016.1 version, the Floating value was removed from the DockingWindowState enumeration.  The reason is that now floating dock hosts can contain full MDI areas, docked tool windows, and auto-hidden tool windows.  Thus that event won't fire when a window is floated unless the transition is a state change (such as from a tool window in the MDI area to a floating tool window, which is docked).

We tested and the event is firing correctly when changing betwee any of the document, docked, or auto-hide states.

If you have a need to be notified when a docking window is floated or docked back, please give some more detail about the scenario and we will be happy to discuss further.
