Find The Selected Tab?

[UIdev]

Hi,
    
I have a series of DockPanels arranged so that some are aligned on the sides, and some are in a tabbed layout along the center top like open documents in Visual Studio.  Is there any way to determine the selected tab (or last selected tab) and not one of the side windows?  This is a major part of my application, and I really want to figure it out.

Thanks,

UIDev

Hello David,

Try to use  theActiveDocument property of DockingManager. Another approach is to get the Documents collection in DockingManager and check which DocumentPane is visible. 

I hope this helps.

And what I have to do to SET the active document and focus on it? And for dockPanel?

Thanks for support

Hi Lorenzo,

To activate your document you should set the ActiveDocument property of the DockingManager. To activate the DockPanel you must call it's Activate() function.

I hope this was helpful.

Hi,
Im looking for a DocumentTab Selected event, or an event to find when the document tab changes. Is there a way?
Thanks
