First Docked , then AutoHide

[Technik]

Hello,

I am using the DockingManager (6.0.2.0) and set two of the panels DockState-Property to AutoHide. Now the Designer cannot show the form anymore saying "This is not valid state for tabbed document container. Please first change state to Docked and then to AutoHide"

I did change the Designer Code and added the DockState-Property setting to my own Initialize method. But now every time I save the Form, the designer code gets altered back to AutoHide, which means after the next build again I cant see the from in the designer again.

Am I doing something wrong ? Whats the normal way of setting a Panel to AutoHide in the Designer.

Thanks

Hi Falk Wegener,

Thank you for writing.

Your DockPanel is attached to a TabbedDocument container and its state cannot be a AutoHide. Please first change the DockPanels to a Docked state like ToolWindow and then you can change the state to AutoHide.

The behavior is like Visual Studio Docking.

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