I'm trying to create a floating toolbar that can be docked. In WinForms this is pretty trivial, but I'm having difficulty getting this to work as I want to in WPF. Right now I have a split plane with content panes, but they get resized and don't honor the toolbar sizes. It seems a bit odd to do it this way, but then again I could be doing it incorrectly. Basically I just want to be able to dock a toolbar to the left of my application and also be able to allow the toolbar to float without any of the weirdness associated with the control being in a content pane.
Hello,
It has been a while since you have made your post, in case you still need support I will be glad to assist you further. I suppose the other community members can benefit from this answer as well. So I have been looking through your post and I suggest you look in the Feature Browser under xamDockManager / Composition Walkthrough / Simple Docking section, where there is just such example like the one you want.
Feel free to write me if you have further questions.
