How set ToolWindow SizeToContenet in Docked mode? - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Hi,
I create toolwindows programmatically then open/close by toggle buttons in Dock state.
I need to set toolwindow size to fit content size(at least Width), when its Activated.
Any idea?

Hi Arthur,

That is not currently supported. I think the only way to accomplish this is to do something like what the Programmatic Resizing QuickStart does. But you'd use the DesiredSize.Width of the parent ToolWindowContainer to determine the size of it's slot.

Hi Arthur,

The Programmatic Resizing QuickStart shows how you can use the SplitContainer.ResizeSlots method to resize various elements. There isn't a simple call to ensure a ToolWindow is a given width/height at this time. You'd need to manually resize the slots of all the SplitContainers that contain the ToolWindow/ToolWindowContainer, as there could be several ancestor SplitContainers. Again, this is shown in the sample.
