Hi,

How can I force the pane to be docked?
So when the user drags the pane (it's floating), and releases the mouse,
I want the pane to fly back in its original docked position when it would cause the pane to become undocked.
(When mouse is released and docking hint is shown,then its the normal behaviour, the pane docks)
Is this possible?

Best regards,
Henri

Hi Henri,

You can set the CanFloat property of the Pane to False. In that way the user won't be able to drag the pane at all. Unfortunately, the scenario with the flying back to its original place is not possible.

Hope this information helps.

All the best,

Hi Konstantina,

I am aware of the CanFloat property, but then the user cannot drag the pane to a new docking position.
Is there no way to programmatically dock the pane when  the dragging action is ended and the pane has become a floating pane?
(and re-dock it to its original docked position)
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Henri

Hello Henri,

As mentioned earlier, this cannot be achieved, as there is no way to know which was the original docked position as when the pane is dragged the group and the SplitContainers are created dynamically. You cannot find the real source SplitContainer as when dragged they are already moved out in a new one.

Hi Benoit,

I am afraid this is still not possible. This issue is added in PITS - you can view it here. You can vote for it and track its status, when it is going to be implemented.
