Hello.

I am using the XamDockManager for my UI along with a SplitPane so that I can have movable/docking/floating content panes. I understand that the size of the Dock Manager content area is determined by the size of the SplitPane hosted in XamDockManager.Panes. If possible I want the Content area to be a permanently fixed size but I am not sure if this is achievable. I am setting the Height, MinHeight and MaxHeight of the SplitPane on load and this does give me control over the size of the Content area. BUT, when the UI initially loads the size of the Content area is set to a relative size and my Height, MinHeight and MaxHeight setting do not take effect until I resize the SplitPane manually using the splitter. As soon as I do that the Height, MinHeight and MaxHeight setting take effect and the Content area snaps to the desired size.

Does anyone know how to get the XamDockManager to load and display using my preferred size from the start? Or failing that if there is a way that I can spoof the resizing of the splitter?

Thanks,
Damian
