Dock Manager inside a non win forms window
posted

Hi,

  We have a scenario where we host our .NET controls in an ActiveX container inside a plain old windows HWND.  If our control has a dockmanger we noticed some strange behavior with activation and drag and droping of panes.  Basically the dock manager is unusable.  Looking at the source I see the parent form of the control gets various events hooked.    It looks like the same problem exists if you run inside a WindowsFormsHost control inside a WPF window.  Is there anyway to get this to work.  If not,  are there other infragistics controls which are not support outside of a Win Forms window?  I'd like to identify which .NET screens we have which would not be supported in this legacy ActiveX environment

Thanks,

Bill

    Bill,

    None of the Infragistics controls are supported outside of Windows Forms.  You might want to try calling the Infragistics.Win.Utilities.ForceNativeMessageFilter method which will cause the Infragistics objects that use AddMessageFilter to use native Window message hooks instead of .NET ApplicationMessageFilters.  That might help.
