Why are my floating windows not resizing? - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

I have some code which looks like the following:

tw = new ToolWindow ()
            {
                Name = "w_ToolWindow",
                Title = "A tool window",
            };
mainDockSite.ToolWindows.Add (tw);
tw.Content = new TextBlock (new Run (string.Concat ("Dynamic Content!\n", DateTime.Now)));
tw.Float ();
DockSite.SetControlSize (tw.ParentContainer, new Size (480, 240));

But the control still comes up at the default size. What needs to be done in order to size a floating toolwindow?

I don't know how I missed Float taking a Size as an argument, so I will use that.

But for future reference, how should SetControlSize be used here?

Hi Adam,

The ControlSize would be used inside the Float method. So if you set it after you call Float, then it would have no effect.

Before you call the Float method, the ParentContainer property will most likely be null. So you would need to set the control size of the ToolWindow.
