Is there any complete guidance on doing AppBar docking (such as locking to the screen edge) in WPF? I understand there are InterOp calls that need to be made, but I'm looking for either a proof of concept based on a simple WPF form, or a componentized version that can be consumed.

When creating an MDI Application with "Visual Studio" style using the AppWizard of VS2008 (plus Feature Pack), the CMainFrame class gets a method CreateDockingWindows(). Since I don't want all panes to be always visible but display them depending on the type of the active document, I made those windows to members of my views and also mo...

we'd like to add movable panels to an application. presently we've used DevExpress docking library but have found them to be disappointingly quirky & difficult to work with. it also has some limitations that aren't so great. auto-hide, pinning, and moving of pages by drag-and-drop are all features we'd like to use. the built-in delph...
I wrote a simple add-in for Visual Studio 2008 that opens a dockable window pane. You can download the source and a binary installer by clicking here. The nature of the add-in means that it is ideally going to stay docked next to where you edit your source. But sometimes, on some installs, it won't stay docked. You run VS, you dock my...

I want to implement a docking library in wpf with behavior similar to Adobe Photoshops CS3. You can attach floating Panels to other Panels or Docks by mouse dragging. Docks have a fixed location.

I've encountered an issue with the ordering of docked UserControls. I have 2 that are docked to "Top", and the order that they appear is the opposite of what I wanted. What I've tried: I tried reversing the order in the .Designer.cs to make it work, and while that worked in the UI Designer, it reverted while running! I've also ...
Hi, Does anyone know about a Docking Control like Visual Studio for WPF, where Databinding for the Panes is supported? I tried the DockManager from Infragistics and from Actipro, but they lack this support. For example, the Panes for the content need to be bound through Databinding, so removing the Entity on the other side of the bindin...
I'm using a CControlBar-derived class and I would like to detect when the docking state of the CControlBar has changed (i.e., docking from vertical to horizontal or when it goes into floating mode). Of course, I could handle WM_SIZE but it seems to be a waste of ressources doing the task every time a WM_SIZE message is fired instead of ...
I like the way that Google Chrome allows you to grab tabs out of a window to create additional windows. Does any one know if there is way to do this style of docking and undocking in my .Net application? Or better yet does any one know if there is a .Net component that can provide this type of functionality? ...

I am attempting to add a WPF usercontrol to an existing WinForms project and get the WPF UserControl to dock and fill the entire space. There's a current framework that loads WinForms UserControls into a parent form (into a panel) in response to button clicks. This is where I'm trying to hook in - The WinForms UserControl that's curren...

One is a rendering window which use the WSAD keys for camera movement, and the other is a tree control, problem is when I am moving in the 3D world, the selection in the tree control also changes, e.g by having "D" pressed in the 3D window, the items that start with "D" in the ...
In my MFC (Feature Pack) application one can dynamically create docking panes to display charts/tables etc. However, I don't want to let the user open the same thing twice.
