Custom Dockable Window Pane

Product Availability: ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine

In ArcFM Viewer, the Table of Contents is a dockable control. A user may undock these controls and leave them floating in the user interface or dock the windows in any number of places. The user may also choose to separate the dockable controls (e.g., Selection tab, Dispatchers tab) into individual dockable windows rather than keep them as part of a single window. This section describes how to add a dockable control (or tab) to the existing dockable window.

The following constructors are available in Miner.Windows.Docking.DockControl.

base(key)
base(key, caption)
base(key, caption, text)
base(key, caption, bitmap)
base(key, caption, text, bitmap)

C# Code Sample

C# Developer Sample

Add to User Interface:

ArcFM Engine

Key: A unique identifier for the control

Caption: The caption on the upper title bar

Text: Text on the lower tab when grouped

Bitmap: Bitmap that appears on the tab when grouped; ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine: The default transparent color for bitmap icons is magenta (RGB - 255, 0, 255).

The .dlls for custom dockable controls must reside in the ArcFM Solution\Bin directory (ArcFM Viewer). They do not require the RegX (or Regasm) utility.
