UnDocked ToolWindow not being displayed - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Miriam Kuruvilla

Version: 2.0.0105

I have multiple ToolWindows docked inside a DocumentWindow. When I drag out a docked ToolWindow, its state becomes DockableOutsideHost. When I save this layout and reload it, the undocked ToolWindow loads, and its Active and Visible properties are true, but I cannot see the ToolWindow.

My initial suspicion was that it was hidden behind the document, but that is not the case.

When I call Activate() on the ToolWindow, it shows up in the correct position. Is there a reason why the ToolWindow is not displayed by default after the layout has loaded?

I think I have resolved this issue.
I was calling DocumentWindow.Activate() after setting the ToolWindowLayoutData property.

So I changed it such that the ToolWindowLayoutData is set after I called DoucmentWindow.Activate and this seems to display the ToolWindows on top of the Document and in the correct location.

Miriam,

Good, I was going to ask if you were sure your nested DockManager within the DocumentWindow was visible before you try to load the layout.
