Hi,
why doesn't the DockManager support aero snap for floating windows? You can get used to that quite easily, and it's a bit disappointing to see this missing.
Best regards,
Florian

OK, thanks. There is something else that I am interested in: Is there a better default style for the docking controls available? I'd prefer a look at this similar to the default Windows (tab) controls, these Office themes you have look a bit rough.
No none of the themes would look like the OS tabs. The xamDockManager was designed to mimic Visual Studio which never reflects the look of the OS tabs.You can create your own custom styles/templates using the xaml we provide in the DefaultStyles directory as a basis for your own styles/templates if that is the look you wish to acheive.
I would like to achive that, yes, but I cannot go through that effort currently.
I just wonder why so many components base their look and feel on Visual Studio when the end users are not very like to have ever seen this application, as opposed to the native OS look and feel.
Thank you very much for your feedback on this. I've notified our Product Management team and shared this information with them.
Are there any updates on aero snap support for floating/undocked windows?It's been a while since the last post in this topic.
Chrome and Visual studio allow you to drag a dock/panel/tab out of the window and then maximize the new window by dragging it to the top of the screen,or by using the Windows key and arrow keys.
I think the Dockmanager would really benefit from this functionality.
@Rob: you said you submitted this as a new product idea, but I couldn't find it on the website.

The OS has to be performing the drag operation of the floating window in order for aero snap to work. So if you want this functionality then you need to set the FloatingWindowDragMode to UseSystemWindowDrag.
My mistake. Sorry Andrew!
Yes that is on the xamDockManager which is what this forum is about. If you have questions about UltraDockManager it would be best to use its related forum.
Hi Andrew, isn't that property only available on the WPF version (xamDockManager)?
I'm using the Windows Forms version (UltraDockManager).
