Centering an undocked DockAreaPane
posted

Hi!

I am working on an application that allows users to select a menu item. Their selection causes a new, undocked pane to open. I am unable to control where the pane opens, though. Can anyone provide some assistance with this? Below is the code that i am using:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ctrl.Dock =

DockStyle.Fill;

 

 

 

this._dockableControlPane = new DockableControlPane("ClientPlanMeetingNotes", "Client Plan Meeting Notes", ctrl);

 

 

// create a dock area on the right to contain the rich text
DockAreaPane dockAreaFloat = new DockAreaPane(DockedLocation.Floating);

//TODO: WE WOULD LIKE TO CENTER THE FLOATING THE PANE ON THE PARENT SCREEN HERE

 

 

 

// initialize the size of the dock area
dockAreaFloat.Size = new Size(775, 510);

dockAreaFloat.Key =

"ClientPlanMeetingNotes";

 

 

// finally, add the dock areas to the dock manager
dockAreaFloat.Panes.Add(this._dockableControlPane);

ultraDockManager1.DockAreas.Add(dockAreaFloat);

 

 

this._paneCounter++;

    Hello ,

    What you could try is to set the the FloatingPosition of your dockAreaFloat or to choose where to place the Floating pane in the screen like the following :

      dockAreaFloat.Float(false, new Rectangle(X,Y, Width, Height));

    X and Y are the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the Rectangle.  So you could adjust X and Y to fit your requierment to be in the center of the screen.

    Hope this helps.
