Best set of properties to determine DockingWindow visibility - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 9 years ago by Andrew Hanlon

Version: 16.1.0631

Hello

What is the best set of bindable properties that would allow me to identify if a DockingWindow is currently 'visible' within the DockSite? My current thoughts are:

 dw.IsSelected && (dw.State != DockingWindowState.AutoHide || dw.IsActive)

Does that make sense? Am I missing any corner cases?

I don't know if this is a breaking change in any way, but I think it would make sense to set `IsSelected` to false for AutoHide windows that are currently hidden. That would allow `IsSelected` to be a universal indicator that the dockingWindow is currently visible in the DockingSite.

Thanks kindly.

Hi Andrew,

Yes that is probably correct and I believe will handle everything other than you should also add "dw.IsOpen &&" to the start of it since IsOpen indicates if the window is in the layout at all.

We will update the IsSelected property in the next version when in auto-hide state to only return true if the popup is displayed.
