The WPF Docking Control for Powerful User Interface and Layout Customization

Deliver the user interface your users want to work in with the xamDockManager™, a docking and layout management control for your Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) user interface. Simulating the familiar docking metaphor in Visual Studio® 2008, xamDockManager empowers users to dynamically reconfigure their workspace the way they want it using draggable content panes, floating docking indicators, preview, splitter bars, and multiple document interface (MDI) tab items.

Key Features at a Glance

• Customizable Docking Indicators - Show end users exactly where a docking content pane will snap into place at run-time eliminating guesswork.
• Content Pane Navigator - Using the content pane navigator, end users can easily switch between panes and see a preview of the new pane.
• Tabbed Documents - Display multiple tabs on tabbed content panes or the main client area of the xamDockManager, even create a tabbed MDI user interface.
• Pushpins and Fly-out Panes - Hidden panes stay out of the way until users mouse over them, and then they fly-out into view where users can pin them to keep them visible.
• Resize Content with Splitters - Docked content panes can easily be resized by dragging one edge to accommodate the information being presented.
• Layout Persistence - Methods to save a layout to XML and then load it back into the docking control enable presenting users with their preferred layout when your application restarts.
