hi,
I need a container whose titlebar has a button on the left, caption in the middle and just maximize, minimize buttons on the right.
Is this feasible with WinDocManager.
Thanks,
bhavani
You can use dock manager to do this, but to get the button on the left, you would need to do this manually using a creation filter. You would probably want to create a class derived from ButtonUIElementBase or ImageAndTextButtonUIElementBase. In your creation filter, when a PaneCaptionUIElement has been created, you can add an instance of your class to its ChildElements collection. If you have never used creation filters before, here is an article that should help get you started: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.1/CLR2.0/html/Win_Creation_Filter.html
Maximize and Minimize button show disabled.
I tried creating the container by docking a panel and have set the ShowMaximize and ShowMinimize properties to true.
I can see those Maximize and Minimize buttons only enabled if i dock 2 panels or use 2 DockableControlPanes, but i just need a single container with those buttons enabled. please advice
The maximize and minimize buttons are only use to change the size of a pane within its group. They don't do anything when a pane is not grouped with other panes, so they must be disabled. If you would like to be able to maximize and minimize a pane as you would a normal form, this isn't supported by the dock manager, but you can submit a feature request for this: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
