Hi,
My application implement xamDocManager where there are a two tabs currently docked on the main view.
Example: If i drag one tab and dock it on the right side panel, the view now show two tab on the right and left panel. This is the correct tab style i want to achieve.
However it i drag one tab out and let it float (floating window) and then drag the floating window to the right side panel, the style of the newly dock item is not similar to example i mention above. It won't be dock as a tab. Instead it looks like it docks as a window on the right side panel (there is no tab header). Is there any example on how to make docking floating window to be dock as a tab (similar to the Example)
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I have been looking into it, but it seems like I am missing something about your scenario, so if this is still an issue for you, could you please send me, an isolated sample project, where this is reproduced, so I can investigate it further for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
I've attached a sample project. The problem is the styling docked panel if i drag a floating window. To reproduce drag out tab 1 (from the attached sample project) and leave it as a floating window. Then drag it to right panel. Now the main window should have 2 panels side by side(see the attachment). How can i make the style of the right panel to be docked as a tab instead window as shown in the attached image?
Thank you.
I'm happy to see someone else asking about this. I wanted this behavior 2-3 years ago and got the response that this behavior was similar to the Visual studio version it was modeled on. Well, Visual studio has changed since...
And I totally agree - if I use the center diamond to dock a floating window, it should be placed in the document content host, not in another splitpane
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi there,
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried the solution you provided. However, we need to allow user to drag the tab and let it float. It would be good if there a way to make the floating window to be docked as a tab on the right panel when it is drag to it?
I have been looking into your requirements and your sample application. What I can suggest in order to able to avoid Panel styling as your tab 1 from the screenshot that you have provided is to set the properties AllowInDocumentHost to true and AllowDocking to false for each ContentPane, so you will be able to drag the documents only in the same Document. You can read more details about both AllowInDocumentHost and AllowDocking properties from the following links:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WPF/2015.1/CLR4.0/?page=InfragisticsWPF4.DockManager.v15.1~Infragistics.Windows.DockManager.ContentPane~AllowInDocumentHost.html
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WPF/2015.1/CLR4.0/?page=InfragisticsWPF4.DockManager.v15.1~Infragistics.Windows.DockManager.ContentPane~AllowDocking.html
I modified the sample application that you have provided to show you how you can implement this approach and achieve the functionality that you are looking for. Please let me know if I am missing something about your scenario.
If you require any further assistance on the matter, please do not hesitate to ask.
Here is the sample project
