Contains overload request - DockableWindow/TabStripPanel for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Marianne

Can you overload the dwManager.Contains(string keyName) method to include:
dwManager.Contains(string keyName, bool IgnoreCase)

For document windows, what often goes there is the filename which is not normally case sensitive, so it would be nice to have an option so that we can search for the item case insensitively also. Thanks.

Actually the best thing to do would probably have you just use lowercase keys. So when you set the key, do a ToLower on it. That should get you the functionality you want.

That's what I'm doing now but since the filename is displayed in the status bar, I'd like to be able to show the user the proper filename/filepath casing instead of always displaying it in lower case.

Marianne,

You can store the mixed case filename in the Tag property.
