DockWindowClosing event issue

[Peter Szintai]

Hi All,

Based on this forum thread I tried to obtain the affected child window of the DockWindowClosing event :

private void raddock_DockWindowClosing(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowCancelEventArgs e)
{
    //closing windows
    System.Windows.Forms.Form WindowClosing;

    //dockwindow
    if (e.DockWindow is Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.HostWindow)

        //can convert
        if (((Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.HostWindow)e.DockWindow).Content is System.Windows.Forms.Form)

            //save the closing window
            WindowClosing = (System.Windows.Forms.Form)((Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.HostWindow)e.DockWindow).Content;

But, the ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.HostWindow)e.DockWindow).Content is always null.

Is there any problem in my code, or it is a bad feature?


Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for writing.

Please refer to my response at the bottom of the following forum thread:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/dock/closing-an-mdi-child-form.aspx

Shortly said, it is normal to get null for the form, because on the DockWindowClosing event the form does not exists anymore.

If you have additional questions, please describe your scenario. This will allow me to provide you with a helpful response.

Best wishes,
Nikolay

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks, now I understand, that there is host window and content form, they are different controls.
