HI,
I already knows Float() function can setting position and size. But I'm using MVVM model to create my program. I don't know how can I calling Float() function under MVVM Model. So...is there any way can pre-specified ToolWindow's floating Position, without directly calling Float() Function? Thanks for your help.

Hello,
While you can't directly float a window with MVVM via a property, you can accomplish it another way without using Float(). When you first open a docking window, the DockSite.WindowDefaultLocationRequested event will fire. So setting IsOpen on your VM will effectively trigger that event. You could add a handler for that event that sets e.ShouldFloat = true and any other properties as appropriate. You could determine whether to set that e.ShouldFloat based on a property on your VM. The e.Window.DataContext should be your VM.
As far as location, it will float it centered over the dock site at this time. I wonder if we should add an e.FloatLocation property to the DockingWindowDefaultLocationEventArgs that would default to null, but allow you to specify a default location if e.ShouldFloat was set. Would that help?
Thanks for your reply. And Yes, if there has and FloatLocation property can specify window location, that will be very helpful.
Hello,
Ok we will add it for the next build.
