I'm sure I'm misusing the XamDockManager but need some guidance. I have the task of persisting the state of all panes and thought using SaveLayout and LoadLayout would serve the purpose.
I've created a sample application with static layout, but my real objective is to make this work in a Prism application with dynamic tabgroup and content panes. But one thing at a time.
In my sample app, on window load I'm calling SaveLayout, which returns an xml string of the saved settings. Next, I'm calling LoadLayout, passing in this xml string. I receive this error:
The referenced ContentPane is within a DocumentContentHost. Here's the XAML for the XamDockManager and its children. I can also supply the resulting XML from SaveLayout(). This XamDockManager is the only child of a XamRibbonWindow's ContentHost:
<igDock:XamDockManager x:Name="dockManager"> <igDock:XamDockManager.Panes> <igDock:SplitPane x:Name="ExplorerSplit" igDock:XamDockManager.InitialLocation="DockedLeft" Width="225"> <igDock:TabGroupPane x:Name="ExplorerPane"> <igDock:ContentPane x:Name="Explorer" IsPinned="True" Header="Explorer" AllowInDocumentHost="False"> <Button Content="Explorer" IsEnabled="False" /> </igDock:ContentPane> </igDock:TabGroupPane> </igDock:SplitPane> <igDock:SplitPane x:Name="ListSplit" SplitterOrientation="Vertical" igDock:XamDockManager.InitialLocation="DockedTop" Height="145"> <igDock:TabGroupPane x:Name="ListPane"> <igDock:ContentPane x:Name="List" IsPinned="True" Header="List" AllowInDocumentHost="False"> <Button Content="List" IsEnabled="False" /> </igDock:ContentPane> </igDock:TabGroupPane> </igDock:SplitPane> <igDock:SplitPane x:Name="DetailSplit" SplitterOrientation="Vertical" igDock:XamDockManager.InitialLocation="DockedRight" Width="270"> <igDock:TabGroupPane x:Name="DetailPane"> <igDock:ContentPane x:Name="Detail" IsPinned="True" Header="Detail" AllowInDocumentHost="False"> <Button Content="Detail" IsEnabled="False" /> </igDock:ContentPane> </igDock:TabGroupPane> </igDock:SplitPane> </igDock:XamDockManager.Panes> <igDock:DocumentContentHost x:Name="DocumentHost" Background="DarkGray"> <igDock:SplitPane x:Name="DocumentsSplit" SplitterOrientation="Vertical"> <igDock:TabGroupPane x:Name="DocumentsPane" TabStripPlacement="Bottom"> <igDock:ContentPane x:Name="Document" Header="Document" AllowDockingInTabGroup="False" AllowDockingBottom="False" AllowDockingLeft="False" AllowDockingRight="False" AllowDockingTop="False" AllowDocking="False" AllowPinning="False" AllowFloatingOnly="False"> <Button Content="Document" IsEnabled="False" /> </igDock:ContentPane> </igDock:TabGroupPane> </igDock:SplitPane> </igDock:DocumentContentHost></igDock:XamDockManager>
I think that is just wishful thinking. At least I haven't seen any support for prism yet.
Yeah, but it's been so long I can't remember what I did. Based on the notes, Infragistics fixed it. And now that Prism has had two major revs, I'd expect the latest Infragistics stuff to handle it.
Did you ever get the SaveSettings to work with Prism?
Excellent. We installed 9.1 and the latest service releases and that's fixed the problem in my sample app. Now I need to see if I run into any problems when I throw Prism in the mix. Thanks for your help!
How do I get this hotfix? I'm going to need to get the registered user to log in and download it, right?
