How to prevent autoselect of tabbed docking windows in a drag'n drop operation?

Hi Oliver,

This was posted in the WinForms forum but I believe your company has the WPF version.  Did you intend it to be for the WPF version?

Yes, you're certainly right. Can you move this thread to the WPF forum, please?

Thanks and bye,

Hi Oliver,

We actually added a new property to AdvancedTabControl that is ready to go for the next maintenance release (build 633), which effectively does what you want. 

You could use this code to disable drag selection once you have the new build:

<Style TargetType="docking:ToolWindowContainer">
	<Setter Property="TabControlStyle">
		<Setter.Value>
			<Style TargetType="docking:AdvancedTabControl">
				<Setter Property="CanTabsSelectOnDragOver" Value="False" />
			</Style>
		</Setter.Value>
	</Setter>
</Style>
			
<Style TargetType="docking:TabbedMdiHost">
	<Setter Property="TabControlStyle">
		<Setter.Value>
			<Style TargetType="docking:AdvancedTabControl">
				<Setter Property="CanTabsSelectOnDragOver" Value="False" />
			</Style>
		</Setter.Value>
	</Setter>
</Style>

Hi,

that are great news! I'm looking forward this release and I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your fast and helpful answer!

Bye,

Oliver
