Nested DockingManagers

[Jesse Samm]

I have a docking manager on the main form.  I have a docking manager in each dynamically generated document pane.  How can I restrict docking of panels in the document pane to the docking manager of the same document pane?  I don't want the user to be able to drag dockables from one docking manager to another...

Hi Jesse Samm,

Currently the DockingManager supports only global prevention of the drag functionality using the AllowDrag property. You can disable dragging for main DockingManager in your scenario.

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

I am using the Q2 2009 SP1 of the wincontrols.

I am comming up with somewhat of the same situation.  I don't want the user draging windows around... How do I turn off the drag and drop feature of the RADDock?

[Julian Benkov]

Hi Craig Finnigan,

In the new RadDock you can cancel the drag operation of the DragDropService:

DragDropService service = this.radDock1.GetService<DragDropService>();
if (service != null)
{
    service.Dragging += new CancelEventHandler(service_Dragging);
}

void service_Dragging(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}
