Version=20.1.1.0

            <docking:DockSite Name="m_scriptEditorDocSite">
                <docking:Workspace Name="m_scriptEditorWorkspace">
                    <docking:TabbedMdiHost  Name="m_scriptEditorTabbedMdiHost">
                        <docking:TabbedMdiContainer Name="m_scriptEditorTabs"
                        >
                        </docking:TabbedMdiContainer>
                    </docking:TabbedMdiHost>
                </docking:Workspace>
            </docking:DockSite>

In the code behind of this XAML, how can I subscribe to when the user focuses on a different tab? I'm dynamically assigning `DocumentWindow`s to `m_scriptEditorTabs`?

Hello,

This section in the documentation gives information about how to get notified for active window changes.

On a side note, while you can name the DockSite and TabbedMdiHost, you should never name or directly access a container like TabbedMdiContainer since those are dynamically created and destroyed on layout changes.

Thank you! So, if I want to add DockingWindows to the TabbedMdiContainer programmatically, how would you recommend adding them?

If you create the document window using a constructor that associates it with a DockSite, then just call window.Open() or window.Activate() (if you want it focused as well) and it will open in tabbed MDI.
