Don't close document windows when restoring docking layout - Ribbon for WPF Forum

Hi,

we are using the class DockSiteLayoutSerializer to save and restore the docking layout. Additionally we have a default layout that is loaded, when the user clicks on "restore layout". Whenever the layout is loaded all windows are closed. While this is okay for tool windows, I want the document windows to stay open. They just should be ignored in the process.

I already set the property SerializationBehavior to DockSiteSerializationBehavior.ToolWindowsOnly, but that didn't work.

Is there any other way to achieve the behavior?

Best regards, Tobias Lingemann.

Hi Tobias,

Sorry but I'm not seeing that happen. Can you tell us how to reproduce it in one of our samples, like the Layout Serialization QuickStart?

Okay, my bad. The default layout still specified the old SerializationFormat. I didn't realize I have to update that too. I just assumed the setting in the serializer class would override the value from the serialized layout.
