Hey,

I'm using the dock.
It is possible to move tabs out of the TabStrip.

If a user press the close-Button on the tab, I want to dock the tab back to the DocumentTabStrip.

How can I do this?

 

Regards, Marc

Hello Marc,

You can use the DockWindowClosing event to achieve this:
private void RadDock1_DockWindowClosing(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.NewWindow.Text == "documentWindow1")
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        e.NewWindow.DockState = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.TabbedDocument;
    }
}

I hope this will be useful.

Hey Dimitar,

this is perfect! Thank you!

Is there any solution for redock at the same position as docked before?

Hello Marc,

An example for this is available here Set order to document windows - Dock - UI for WinForms Forum.

I hope this helps.

In the example above,when using auto MDI, the dock tab doesn't close, but the form inside is closed, leaving a blank tab, is there a method to prevent the form from closing also.

Hello Bruce,

The MDI child forms are explicitly closed in our code. In this case, you can use the Closing event of the child form:
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var childForm = new RadForm2();
    childForm.Text = "MDI Child " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
    childForm.MdiParent = this;
 
    childForm.FormClosing += ChildForm_FormClosing;
    childForm.Show();
}
 
private void ChildForm_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
    var form = sender as RadForm2;
    var host = form.Parent as HostWindow;
    host.DockState = DockState.TabbedDocument;
}

I hope this will be useful.

Thank you for your Reply, this prevents the child form from closing in all circumstances, not just when someone attempts to close the tabbed document hosting it. 

How would you in the closing event of the child form identify that the call to closed originated from the tabbed document, and not all instances?

Hi Bruce,

You can check the DockState of the window:
private void ChildForm_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    var form = sender as RadForm2;
 
    var host = form.Parent as HostWindow;
    if (host.DockState == DockState.Floating)
    {
        host.DockState = DockState.TabbedDocument;
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Hello Dimitar,

today I need your help again on this case.

I tried your linked solution, but it doesn't worked for me.

 

DEFINE VARIABLE iPosition AS INTEGER   NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE myDocWindow AS Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DocumentWindow NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE myTabStrip  AS Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DocumentTabStrip   NO-UNDO.
         
myDocWindow = CAST(e:NewWindow, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DocumentWindow) NO-ERROR.
myTabStrip  = CAST(e:NewWindow:DockTabStrip, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DocumentTabStrip) NO-ERROR.
 
        IF myDocWindow <> ? AND myTabStrip <> ? THEN DO:
            iPosition = myDocWindow:TabIndex.
            e:Cancel = TRUE.
            e:NewWindow:DockState = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState:TabbedDocument.
             
            /* myTabStrip:Controls:SetChildIndex(e:NewWindow, iPosition). ???????????? */
        END.

 

The TabIndex is correct, but where I have to set this?

Hi Mark,

You can use the DockStateChanged event because no windows are added in this case, and the strip is still not changed in the DockWindowClosing event handler. You can use a similar code:
private void RadDock1_DockStateChanged(object sender, DockWindowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.DockWindow is DocumentWindow && e.DockWindow.DockState == DockState.TabbedDocument)
    {
        DockTabStrip strip = e.DockWindow.DockTabStrip;
 
        if (strip != null)
        {
            strip.Controls.SetChildIndex(e.DockWindow,((DocumentWindow)e.DockWindow).TabIndex);
        }
    }
}

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Dimitar

Ok, one more question ;)

If I use the regular way to dock the window again, it won't be worked.

Hi Marc,

Again the event is fired before the strip is changed. So to handle this case as well you need to use the TransactionCommitted event. Here is how you can rewrite the code in order to handle both cases:
private void RadDock1_TransactionCommitted(object sender, RadDockTransactionEventArgs e)
{
      
    if (e.Transaction.TransactionType == DockTransactionType.DockWindow)
    {
        var window = e.Transaction.AssociatedWindows[0] as DocumentWindow;
 
        if (window == documentWindow1 || window == documentWindow2 || window == documentWindow3)
        {
            var strip = window.TabStrip;
            if (strip != null)
            {
               
                strip.Controls.SetChildIndex(window, window.TabIndex);
 
            }
        }
    }
}

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
