My application is using FloatingWindowContainer to display floating window. I can dock a floating window content to another floating window.
I need to make floating window displayed on screen always, even if main application window is minimized. I have set Owner property of FloatingWindowContainer object to null but floating form is minimized with main application.
Doing the same thing (Setting Owner property to null) of Winform's Form instance makes the form remain on screen on minimizing main window.
Can you suggest appropriate way to achieve above behavior?
Hello Ashutosh,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics. This is to be expected. Have you tried setting the FloatingWindowContainer WindowState property to Normal? Please note that, owned windows are always above the owner and also get hidden when the owner is minimized.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Michael for response.
I did not set WindowState property explicitly. I verified FloatingWindowContainer WindowState property and found its already Normal. Is there any way we can make FloatingWindowContainer not owned so it can stay while application is minimized.
Regards,
Ashutosh
I tried disconnecting a floating pane's Owner, but the pane always minimizes with it's parent form. I recommend using a separate form when the main window is minimized. The panes have an IsVisible property you can use for validation.
