Redocking doesn't show the MdiContainer where to dock when maximized

Way to reproduce:

Printscreen shows the blue rectangle which the dimensions are the dockable container that could accept the docking of this child-form.

If I do the same thing in my VisualStudio environment, as soon as I start trying to dock back, I see the possible dockable container.

Hi Sebastien,

Thank you for writing.

The reported behavior can be considered an issue and I have logged it on our feedback portal, here: FIX. RadDock - maximized floating windows should be restored to their Normal window state when started dragging. I have updated your Telerik points for the report. Additionally, you can subscribe to the item and be updated when its status changes.

As a possible workaround, you can handle the Starting event of the DragDropService and change the WindowState of the dragged window:

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

DragDropService service = this.radDock1.GetService<DragDropService>();

service.Starting += Service_Starting;

}

private void Service_Starting(object sender, StateServiceStartingEventArgs e)

{

FloatingWindow fw = e.Context as FloatingWindow;

if (fw != null && fw.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)

{

fw.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;

fw.Location = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - fw.Size.Width / 2, Cursor.Position.Y);

}

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Regards,
Hristo
