Using Workspace without MDI - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Brian Stewart

Version: 9.1.0506

I have a hierarchy that looks like this:


-Ribbon
-DockSite
  - SplitContainer
     - Workspace
        - My User Control
     - ToolWindowContainer
        - ToolWindow

I started off using tabbed MDI for my workspace, but decided that since the tabs on my ribbon correspond to the tabs on the workspace, I would just switch the contents of the workspace out whenever the ribbon tab changes, and save the screen real-estate that the Workspace tabs occupied. However, when I attempted to set this up, everything looks fine except that my UserControl is too large, and seemingly makes no attempt to resize to it's parent. I tried setting Horizontal and Vertical Alignment to Stretch, on both the workspace and the user control, but to no avail. Any clues?

Hi Brian,

I can't really say without seeing the problem, but I would suspect it's something in your code. Take a look at our "Workspace Content" QuickStart. That shows a Grid containing our logo, etc. in the workspace area. The Grid does stretch to the workspace's size as you resize the window. So I don't think it's anything in our code causing this.

If you can't figure it out you can make a simple sample project that shows it and email it over to us.

Yes - it was something in my code. I had a child control in my user control that had it's width and height set to auto, I believe. When I removed that, then everything worked as expected. Thanks for your response.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
