Accessing hidden DockPanel after LoadXML

[Roland]

Hello,

I use LoadXML() and then try to find a specific panel through the ID. If the layout contains hidden (unpinned) DockPanels, I don't find them with the following sample code.
foreach (IDockingSite site in this.mDockingManager.DockingSites)

foreach (IDockable dockable in site.ManagedDockables)
if (dockable.ID.Equals(equipmentID))
    return(DockPanel)dockable;

Are hidden panels not stored in the ManagedDockables collection?

Thanks, Roland

Hello Roland,

Thank you for writing. Hidden panels are stored in the ManagedDockables collection and also in the saved XML layout. Please use the GetManagedDockables method of the DockingManager in the following way:

foreach (IDockable dockable in mDockingManager.GetManagedDockables())
if (dockable.ID.Equals(equipmentID))
    return(DockPanel)dockable;

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

All the best,
