What's the equivalent of MdiWindowListItem when using a DockPanelWorkspace?

Question

We have a composite application with a DockPanelWorkspace as its main user interface area. Above this sits a MenuStrip with a window menu set as its MdiWindowListItem. Unfortunately, as I feared, the window menu isn't populated with the open views.

Is there an equivalent in CAB that will populate a menu with a list of the open views in a workspace? If not, how should I go about implementing that feature?

Answer 1

MdiWindowListItem is automatically populated with items added as MdiChild. You have to develop custom logic for docked window, handling the following .

• Adding menu item to the window menu (set as MdiWindowListItem)
• Removing the menu item when the related window is closed
• EventHandler for selecting the window when the menu is clicked
• I am not familiar with DockPanelWorkspace.
  • So logic of selecting the window has to be sorted.
  • Changes of DockState like the window changes to MDIChild
