How to persist and deserialize z-order for standard MDI

Hi Brian,

The Panel.ZIndex attached property is currently used to provide z-order. So you may be able to get/set that.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I find Panel.ZIndex? Along that line is there a way to get the StandardMdiHost's children in Z-Order?

Is it correct that DockSite.DocumentWindows.ToArray(true) returns an array is zordering?

Hi Scott,

The Panel.ZIndex is an attached property. So you can get the current z-index from a document using "(int)documentWindow.GetValue(Panel.ZIndexProperty)". But this is only really used to bring the selected window to the front.

The LastFocusedDateTime is really what is used to determine the order that the windows have been "selected". So your code above should be correct.

Seems that DocumentWindows.ToArray(true) has not been properly resolved when the WindowActived event is fired. In other words, in an event handler for WindowActivated, DocumentWindows.ToArray(true) does not show DockSite.ActiveWindow as the top most window. Can this be fixed?

Hi Scott,

We've corrected this for the next maintenance release.
