Hi, 

I have a main windows form that includes a racDock with the "AutoDetectMdiChildren" to true.

I need that children MDI winform can be only docked inside the racDock area, so, I would like that the user can dock the MID child form to the top/botton/left/right but not be able to extract the windows to another independent windows outside the parent form where is the racDock control.

How can I disable that the MDI child form could be outside of the parent form?.

Thanks a lot.

Francisco

Hello Francisco,

Thank you for writing.

In order to achieve your goal, you can use set the RadDock.DragDropMode property to Preview and cancel the DockStateChanging event if the DockStateChangingEventArgs.NewDockState is DockState.Floating:
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.IsMdiContainer = true;
    this.radDock1.AutoDetectMdiChildren = true;
    this.radDock1.DragDropMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DragDropMode.Preview;
    this.radDock1.DockStateChanging+=radDock1_DockStateChanging;
}
 
private void radDock1_DockStateChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockStateChangingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = e.NewDockState == Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.Floating;
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
 
Regards,
Dess
