Version 19.1.When I undock a pane and move it around, it will never dock on the left side of the parent. I can dock it top, bottom or right, but when I hit the left area of the parent and dock, the panel will appear on the right side.When using double-click to undock/dock the pane, it works just fine.
Hello and thank you for contacting Infragistics.
Please provide a sample that demonstrates the behavior.
Start a project. Slap a dockmanager on the form. Add a button and dock that. Now grab the titlebar to undock the panel. Move it around nfor a bit and then try to dock it to the left side of the form.Do you really want me to put that in a sample for you? If so, I suggest pulling another one, this one's got bells.
Hi,
I do not reproduce the behavior. It's likely have been fixed in a more recent version.
You can try out my sample using 2021.2 using the bin folder's executable and undock/dock in all four areas.

Feel free to add your dlls to see if you can replicate the behavior. If you do I encourage you to upgrade because 2019 versions are no longer maintained or supported. If you don't reproduce the behavior try and replicate it and drag and drop using the link above.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your answer.I can't upgrade to 2021.2, that's a given. The company won't upgrade until all is thoroughly tested.So I need a solution with 19.1.Can you give me an event that fires, so that I can dock the misbehaving panel in code? The AfterDockChange-Event fires only at initialisatiion, not when the panel is re-docked.
Is this what is not happening on your end?
There is no event that I know of that will help you if this outline isn't appearing.
To clarify my mouse is positioned on the left edge of the window which causes to the outline to appear.
I am able to dock using 19.1 build 71, which is the last service release. Which build are you using? If you run the installer for 19.1 it should ask to check for updates and update to 71 if you are on an older build.
No, thanks. I'm not going to waste time on checking out a version we're not likely to use and introducing "more issues down the road" with other controls from Infragistics. Thus heaping work on my colleagues just for some eyecandy.Besides, I just discovered another bug: The DockManager doesn't respect statusbars.If your support cycles are so shortlived, I'm not convinced of using your controls at all. They're obviously meant for shoot-and-forget applications, not for serious work.
Trying to force the pane to snap, as a workaround, while your dragging it might introduce more issues down the road. I recommend installing the 22.1 trial so you can let your company know this issue has been fixed. There has been no features added to this control recently. So the risk is extremely minimal. Most of our controls have been receiving bug fixing. We've been focusing on new features only with our charts and maps. I don't suspect there being any breaking changes going from 19.1 to 22.1 with your existing projects.
The outline appears and I let go of the dragged panel while my mouse is positioned over it.To make extra sure, I tried it witth the keyboard-mouse, too.Events like BeforeDockChange (or After) don't fire.Toggle only fires if I use the double-click method to (un)dock a panel.
