Hi,

I must appreciate you have created a great docking library. Since I am already into it it would be difficult to move to avalon dock right now, I had one query can you please help me sort it out with docking library.

When we make a docked window a tabbed window, I wanted to add functionality to dock it back to earlier docked stage from tabbed stage (like VS).

I know you have discontinued that project, but can you please provide an indicator to how to dock back from tabbed stage.

This would be a great help

Hi, I very sorry for this tardive response.
You're right: WPFDockingLibray is a discontined project so at the moment I can't help you so much.
My only hint is to move your project to AvalonDock. AvalonDock is much more WPF-friendly and is structured as a real lookless WPF control. Porting to AvalonDock should be easy: just download it from codeplex site and start to use it, I'm sure that in half a day you have your application with the new look!

Let me know!

Salam,

Can you please tell me why you have changed the base class for the tool window from Window to Content Control?

I bought a commercial Docking library and looked at two others and they all have this problem of inheriting ContentControl or HeadredContentControl while when the tool window is undocked/floated they create a real Window and move the content there and lose all hooks of event handlers and can't register controls in their scope etc.

I would like to use your AvalonDock instead but cannot for the same reason and hence I have to go back to using your original CodeProject's WPF Docking Library with its tool window inherits from Window which is EXACTLY what I need, unless you can tell me a good reason for not using it.

what would be the side effects if I changed your AvalonDock to inherit from Window instead of ContentControl?

Thanks in advance.
