Stays on same Tab

[dbernett]

This code works but user does not move to that new tab.  After the tab is added it has to be clicked on to view?  What am I doing wrong?

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.IsMdiContainer = true;
    this.radDock1.AutoDetectMdiChildren = true;
}

private void radMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Form childForm = new Form();
    childForm.Text = "MDI Child " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
    childForm.MdiParent = this;
    childForm.Show();
}

Hi David,

Thank you for writing.

You should use the DockWindowAdded event to set the newly added window as active:

private void radButtonElement1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MyForm form = new MyForm();
    form.MdiParent = this;
    form.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
    form.Show();

    radDock1.DockWindowAdded += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventHandler(radDock1_DockWindowAdded);
}

void radDock1_DockWindowAdded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventArgs e)
{
    radDock1.ActiveWindow = e.DockWindow;
}

I hope this helps.
 
All the best,
