So far, I have mainly used Edi and AvalonDockMVVM to learn how AvalonDock works, but neither provide a detailed example of how to use ILayoutUpdateStrategy for my application.
XAML of my Window looks something liike this:
<avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutItemTemplateSelector>
<pane:PanesTemplateSelector>
<pane:PanesTemplateSelector.WorkspaceExplorerTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<v:WorkspaceExplorerView/>
</DataTemplate>
</pane:PanesTemplateSelector.WorkspaceExplorerTemplate>
<pane:PanesTemplateSelector.ToolBoxTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>Test</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</pane:PanesTemplateSelector.ToolBoxTemplate>
</pane:PanesTemplateSelector>
</avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutItemTemplateSelector>
<avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutUpdateStrategy>
<pane:LayoutInitializer/>
</avalonDock:DockingManager.LayoutUpdateStrategy>
<avalonDock:LayoutRoot>
<avalonDock:LayoutPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane Name="DockLeft" DockMinWidth="250"/>
<avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>
<avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane Name="DockCenterTop" DockMinWidth="250"/>
<avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane Name="DockCenterBottom" DockMinWidth="250"/>
</avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>
<avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane Name="DockRight" DockMinWidth="500"/>
</avalonDock:LayoutPanel>
</avalonDock:LayoutRoot>
I would like to specifiy the following inside LayoutInitializer:
LayoutItems with the Template "WorkspaceExplorerTemplate" should be placed inside "DockLeft" and LayoutItems with the Template "ToolBoxTemplate" should be placed inside "DockRight".
Is this possible?
How would I go about this?
I don't expect a detailed explanation, but a link to a well documtned example would be great.
Thanks in advance
So far LayoutInitializer looks like this:
class LayoutInitializer : ILayoutUpdateStrategy
{
public bool BeforeInsertAnchorable(LayoutRoot layout, LayoutAnchorable anchorableToShow, ILayoutContainer destinationContainer)
{
LayoutAnchorablePane destPane = destinationContainer as LayoutAnchorablePane;
if (destinationContainer != null &&
destinationContainer.FindParent<LayoutFloatingWindow>() != null)
return false;
var toolsPane = layout.Descendents().OfType<LayoutAnchorablePane>().FirstOrDefault(d => d.Name == "ToolsPane");
if (toolsPane != null)
{
toolsPane.Children.Add(anchorableToShow);
return true;
}
return false;
}
public void AfterInsertAnchorable(LayoutRoot layout, LayoutAnchorable anchorableShown)
{
}
public bool BeforeInsertDocument(LayoutRoot layout, LayoutDocument anchorableToShow, ILayoutContainer destinationContainer)
{
return false;
}
public void AfterInsertDocument(LayoutRoot layout, LayoutDocument anchorableShown)
{
}
Found an Answer:
BeforeInsertAnchorable needs to look line this:
public bool BeforeInsertAnchorable(LayoutRoot layout, LayoutAnchorable anchorableToShow, ILayoutContainer destinationContainer)
{
LayoutAnchorablePane destPane = destinationContainer as LayoutAnchorablePane;
if (destinationContainer != null &&
destinationContainer.FindParent<LayoutFloatingWindow>() != null)
return false;
var DockLeftPane = layout.Descendents().OfType<LayoutAnchorablePane>().FirstOrDefault(d => d.Name == "DockLeft");
if (DockLeftPane != null)
{
if(anchorableToShow.Content.GetType() == typeof(WorkspaceExplorerViewModel))
DockLeftPane.Children.Add(anchorableToShow);
return true;
}
return false;
}
