Example

This sample demonstrates how to associate a XamDockManager with a DocumentContentHost to provide a tabbed document interface in your application.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Windows.DockManager

Private Sub InitializeDmWithDCH(ByVal dockManager As XamDockManager)
    ' The XamDockManager is a content control and as such 
    ' can contain any content but you can use a 
    ' DocumentContentHost to provide VS style tabbed 
    ' documents which can participate in the dragging 
    ' and pane navigator of the xamdockmanager 
    Dim dch As New DocumentContentHost()

    Dim rootSplit As New SplitPane()
    rootSplit.SplitterOrientation = Orientation.Vertical

    Dim tgpRoot As New TabGroupPane()

    Dim cpFile1 As New ContentPane()
    cpFile1.Header = "File 1"
    cpFile1.Content = New RichTextBox()
    tgpRoot.Items.Add(cpFile1)

    Dim cpFile2 As New ContentPane()
    cpFile2.Header = "File 2"
    cpFile2.Content = New RichTextBox()
    tgpRoot.Items.Add(cpFile2)

    rootSplit.Panes.Add(tgpRoot)

    ' You can nest SplitPanes within the DCH 
    ' to create nested tab groups. This split 
    ' will be to the right of the tab group 
    ' defined above. 
    Dim nestedSplit As New SplitPane()
    nestedSplit.SplitterOrientation = Orientation.Horizontal

    Dim tgpNested1 As New TabGroupPane()
    Dim cpFile3 As New ContentPane()
    cpFile3.Header = "File 3"
    cpFile3.Content = New RichTextBox()
    tgpNested1.Items.Add(cpFile3)

    rootSplit.Panes.Add(nestedSplit)
    dch.Panes.Add(rootSplit)

    dockManager.Content = dch
End Sub
