UserDockForm

[erwin]

What's the best way to convert UserDockForm derived Dockables to the new DocumentWindow?

Do I have to convert them to Controls and then add them to the DocumentWindow.Controls Collection?

regards
Erwin

Hi,

You can use your approach and convert to Control and then add to DocumentWindow Controls collection. Another solution is to convert to Form and add to the form to the RadDock using HostWindow.

Form form = new Form();
RadGridView gridView = new RadGridView();
gridView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
form.Controls.Add(gridView);
form.Visible = true;

HostWindow hostWindow = new HostWindow(form);
radDock1.AddDocument(hostWindow);

Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

Best Regards,
Julian

My current approach:

MyUserControl muc = new MyUserControl()

DocumentWindow dw = new DocumentWindow();
dw.Controls.Add(muc);

radDock1.AddDocument(muc);

I noticed that the Load Event is not triggered in the UserControl (?)

Hi Erwin,

Yes, you are correct Load Event is not triggered.
 
I am using the below approch and it works very well.

Private

 

Sub crewButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles crewButton.Click

 

Dim crewhostWindow As HostWindow = New HostWindow(crewForm)
crewhostWindow.AllowDockStates = AllowDockStates.TabbedDocument
crewForm.Show()
crewForm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
RadDock1.AddDocument(crewhostWindow)

End Sub

Note to Admin:
Please correct login bug, I posted earlier message, but it shows under "Amry Hanitijo".

raju, thanks for the message.

I think the Load Event not firing is a bug - no problem with my own controls, but 3rd party user controls might rely on the Load Event.
