OnLocationChanged event isn't fired when ToolWindow is floating

[Gerben]

For a project, i need to resize ToolWindows when they are floating, and are at a certain position at the screen, but the onlocationChange event isn't fired when I move the floating window on the screen

It is fired  before i make the window floating.

I'm using the 2010 Q2 SP1 release.

Hi Gerben,

Thank you for the question.

When you float a ToolWindow, you should subscribe to the LocationChanged property of the ToolWindow's FloatingParent. Let's assume that we have a docked ToolWindow that the user floats at runtime. The code that will allow you to track the location changes of the floating form is:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radDock1.DockStateChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventHandler(radDock1_DockStateChanged);
    }

    FloatingWindow floatingW;

    void radDock1_DockStateChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.DockWindow.DockState == Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.Floating)
        {
            floatingW = e.DockWindow.FloatingParent;
            floatingW.LocationChanged += new EventHandler(floating_LocationChanged);
        }
    }

    void floating_LocationChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(floatingW.Location);
    }
}

I hope this helps.
 
Sincerely yours,
