DockSiteRegionAdapter-IActiveAware View as DocumentWindow - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Juerg

Version: 11.1.0540

The DockSiteRegionAdapter fires an IsActiveChanged event when an activeaware-view contains a ComboBox and the DropDown List of the ComboBox is expanded.
The normal WPF TabControl does not show such a behaviour.
Is it somehow possible to suppress such events, when the IsActiveChanged-Event is caused by a Framework-Element within the view?

Hi Juerg,

Unfortunately, no. Our DockSiteRegionAdapter currently uses the DockSite.ActiveWindow as the basis for the "active" view. This effectively tracks with the focus, so if you activate a document window, move to a tool window, move back to the document window, then you would end up with the document window being activated twice.

Unlike the WPF TabControl, the DockSite doesn't have a single "selected" item. There can be any number of items selected at any given point.

So when you click the ComboBox, you are also moving the focus. This is what results in the window activation.
