Keep user from dragging floating pane and intercept right click
posted

I want to allow a user to organize a form they want and then lock it down

so far I have this 

ultraDockManager1.ShowCloseButton = false;

ultraDockManager1.ShowPinButton = false;  

foreach (DockAreaPane dap in ultraDockManager1.DockAreas)

{

dap.Settings.AllowDragging = DefaultableBoolean.False;

dap.Settings.DoubleClickAction = PaneDoubleClickAction.None;

}

but after doing dap.Settings.AllowDragging, the dock area can still be dragged around.

I also need to stop the user from right clicking the dock and getting the menu as well as be able to intercept that menu and add a menu item of my own. Thank you in advance for any help, Jamie

    It is the DockableControlPanes which are dragged and double-clicked, not the DockAreaPanes. You can apply these settings to all panes by setting them on the dock manager:

    this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.AllowDragging = DefaultableBoolean.False;
    this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.DoubleClickAction = PaneDoubleClickAction.None;

    As for the context menu, you cannot prevent it from displaying, but you can disable each menu item in the context menu:

    this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.AllowClose = DefaultableBoolean.False;
    this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.AllowFloating = DefaultableBoolean.False;
    this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.AllowPin = DefaultableBoolean.False;

    The UltraDockManager does not currently allow the ability to add custom menu items to this context menu. You can submit a feature request for this ability: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
