Dynamicly create new Document and copy controls to it from existing tab

[John Hamman]

Hi all,
I want to the user to press a button and it will create a new DocumentPanel. The controls on that new tab will be the exact controls of the DocumentPanel, plus I want to copy some content over from the old to the new. How do I create a new DocumentPanel dynamically with the same controls and layout of those controls of an existing DocumentPanel?

PS. I posted a simular question in the tabstrip forum, but I should have posted here.

Hi John,

Thank you for writing.

You can dynamically create a new DocumentPane with the code snippet below:

DocumentPane document = new DocumentPane();
document.Text = "Document1";
UserControl ctrl = new UserControl1();
ctrl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
document.Controls.Add(ctrl);
this.dockingManager1.SetDocument(document);

In order to copy the same content, you can make the UserControl and insert all controls with the desired layout, then create a DocumentPane with this UserControl.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, please contact me.
