auto hide containers - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 13 years ago by Mary Fontana - Rudolph Technologies

I have a DockSite, with workspace on left and 2 tool window containers on right.
I would like to auto hide all tool windows in the 2 right tool window containers.

I am not sure how to use DockSite.AutoHideRightContainers to do what I want since I have 2 tool window containers on the right.
Do I need a nested docksite?

I have something like this:

<docking: DockSite ...>
<docking:SplitContainer Orientation="Horizontal" >
<docking: workspace>
....
</docking:workspace>

<docking:SplitContainer Orientation="Vertical" >

<!= RightTop Tools>
<docking:ToolWindowContainer>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool1">
</docking:ToolWindow>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool2">
</docking:ToolWindow>
</docking:ToolWindowContainer>

<!= RightBottom Tools>
<docking:ToolWindowContainer>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool3">
</docking:ToolWindow>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool4">
</docking:ToolWindow>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool5">
</docking:ToolWindow>
<docking:ToolWindow x:Name="tool6">
</docking:ToolWindow>
</docking:ToolWindowContainer>

</docking:SplitContainer >

</docking:SplitContainer >
</docking:DockSite>

Hi Mary,

The Features Demo shows an example of an initally auto-hidden ToolWindow. But essientially, you include 1 or more ToolWindowContainers in the AutoHideRightContainers. Inside each of those ToolWindowContainers, you'd include your ToolWindows.

So you should be able to take your two ToolWindowContainers as-is and move them into a "docking:DockSite.AutoHideRightContainers" XML element.
