Docking Windows Dont Honor Margin - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Wayne Boyles

Version: 9.1.0507

Not sure if it is something I am doing wrong but here is the code I have (snipped):


<docking:DockSite>
     <docking:SplitContainer>
          <docking:ToolWindowContainer Margin="3">
               <docking:ToolWindow Title="Client Explorer">
                        
               </docking:ToolWindow>
          </docking:ToolWindowContainer>
     </docking:SplitContainer>
</docking:DockSite>

Now the problem is that when the application first loads the margin is applied to the windows correctly. If you unpin and hide the window and then re-pin it, the margin is ignored and it goes back to the default.

Something I am doing or a possible bug?

Hi Wayne,

Any sort of docking container (such as SplitContainer, ToolWindowContainer, etc.) is created and destroyed dynamically as needed to adjust layouts so you should never set any properties on container instances. You could make an implicit style for ToolWindowContainer in the DockSite.Resources but that is the only way to modify them.

Thank you, I knew it must have been something simple that I overlooked!

The latest build of this product (v24.1.5) was released 16 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
