Sizing the ToolWindow

[User (Old forums)]

#18114 |

Hi:

I have a Main Form on which I have docked two tool windows left and right. I was able to that without much pain but the problem is both the tools windows have occupied half of the space on the main form (toolWindowA 50% and toolWindowB 50%). What I want is to resize toolWindowA so that it occupies only 25 % of the total space. I tried changing the size property but that did not work.

What property do I have to change to resize the toolWindow ?

thanks in advance.

use this routine to help me handle the size, I do it in the StateChanged event of the toolwindow :

private void myWindow_StateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

if ( ( (ToolWindow)sender).State == Xceed.DockingWindows.ToolWindowState.AutoHide)

{

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(“Event Triggered where the State is now now AutoHide”);

// you can change it to what you need.
myWindow.FloatingWindowBounds = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,50,50);

}

if ( ( (ToolWindow)sender).State == Xceed.DockingWindows.ToolWindowState.Docked)

{
//you can set the value to what you need.
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(“Event Triggered where the State is now docked”);

myWindow.Width = 30;

}

if ( ( (ToolWindow)sender).State == Xceed.DockingWindows.ToolWindowState.Floating)

{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(“Event Triggered where the State is now Floating”);
myWindow.FloatingWindowBounds = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,50,50);

}

Or you can change the width of the toolwindow when it pops out by changing the Bounds of the window.

if ( ( (ToolWindow)sender).State == Xceed.DockingWindows.ToolWindowState.AutoHide)
{

myWindow.Bounds = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0,0,100,100);

}
