Programmatically Attach ToolWindow to MDI Area - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Boyd - Sr. Software Developer, Patterson Consulting, LLC

How do you programmatically attach a ToolWindow to the MDI area? I've tried the following code:


ToolWindow twToolbox = new ToolWindow(dockManager, "TOOLBOX", "Toolbox", null, toolboxPane);
twToolbox.DockTo(dockManager, DockOperationType.Attach);

And I get an ApplicationException: The dock operation 'Attach' is not permitted on a target type of 'Manager'

What am I missing? Thanks for the help.

Actually, just do this:

twToolbox.State = ToolWindowState.TabbedDocument;

I knew it was something simple I overlooked... thanks!
