I'm migrating to the latest version of Docking component.

I want to allow the user to reset the interface.

The code I'm using is:

tool1.Dock(dockSite, Side.Right);
tool2.Attach(tool1);

 I expect tool2 (Files Manager) to be inside tool1. The result is:

Hi Erel,

Yes attaching should make the tool2 be tabbed within tool1.  Let me ask though, are you doing this after the DockSite has been Loaded?  If not, things might not work expected since the UI is not fully realized yet.

Yes. It is long after the layout was created. There is a "reset layout" menu option that the user can use to reset the tools windows to their initial position.

It quits LayoutChangeProcessor.Dock because of the 'return' in line 1953.

Maybe I should use a different approach to reset the layout?

Hi Erel,

When I try to run that sort of code in a test here, it works fine.  This sounds like something we might have fixed already for the upcoming maintenance release.  This area is one where we made some code updates, I think for this particular reason, where programmatic attaching wasn't working properly all the time.  The related code update will be in the next maintenance release, probably due in the next couple weeks or so.
