Serialize/Deserialize restoring the control - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 15 years ago by Hamid Noorbakhsh

Version: 4.5.0486

Hi,
I have a ToolWindowContainer with two tabs in it that is working great. I am saving state and then restoring it successfully. Currently, I look at the ToolWindows and if their 'State' is UnDocked, then I Dock() before I serialize. I would like to get away from this and save the state with windows to stay undocked when restored. I have had some success, but am stuck at one place.

My question:
How can I get both tabs (ToolWindows) to UnDock() in the same window? I would like to undock one or both separately ( I can do this now), or undock both in one window as a tabbed control without effecting the original settings, so on dock they return to the correct place.

Hi Hamid,

I'm a little confused, why are you redocking them before layout serialization if you want them to stay undocked when the layout is restored?

As for docking one tool window into another one that is already rafted, I believe you'd call Undock() on the first tool window. Then call Dock() on the second tool window and target the first tool window. That should attach the two together.

Thanks.
The Docking before serialize was something I do currently, not related to the issue. I wanted to leave them undocked and hence the question.
I will give it a try and see as you mentioned.
Thanks again.
