Display tool windows after LoadToolWindowLayoutFromFile - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 13 years ago by Matthias Urech

Version: 2.0.0111

I'm saving the toolwindow layout by using SaveToolWindowLayoutToFile(path) on Form_Closing event and loading (LoadToolWindowLayoutFromFile) it next time the application is started again with event FormLoad.

The file is loaded without throwing an error message, but the tool windows are not displayed.

May I have forgot something?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

That should work ok. It almost sounds like your layout might have stored the tool windows as all being in closed states. You should be able to tell by opening the file and seeing if they are all marked as being hidden/closed.

If so, perhaps you saved it in some scenario where the tool windows were already closed out? You should test and see what scenario causes that. Then try and repro it in a simple sample project if you think it is a bug on our end, and email the sample to us so we can debug it. Thanks!
