I have a C# .NET application that opens multiple windows with a DockPanel control. I would like to be able to drag a DockContent object from one DockPanel to one in another form. Has anyone figured out how to accomplish this? Right now you can only drag it back into the DockPanel that is was originally added to.

I have created an MDI app based on the MFC DocView architecture in the latest version of Visual-Studio, which is working well.
However, when the application is running, and its minimised icon is displayed on the desktop TaskBar, all the open documents are displayed along side one-another. Is there a way I can get only the Document having the current Focus show on the minimised list.
(In case I am not explaining my problem properly, try opening Microsoft Word, and creating a few empty documents. Now click on the minimised Word Icon on the taskbar and you see all open documents displayed alongside each other. This is exactly what I am trying to solve. I only want one document to show up in this list. Is there a way ?)
Thanks you for your help.
Hello those Who have read or are interested in a solution to this dilemma:
I found it at:
How do you make your MDI MFC app show one instance in the TaskBar?
And it works. best wishes all.
Is it possible to create custom windows features? for instance add new buttons to the start menu or maybe a button on the task bar like the Cortana button. Even add a new button to windows explorer. If it is can someone please point me in the right direction as google doesn't seem to return any helpful results
You can create custom widgets on the taskbar by creating a deskband shell extension.
Creating a button in the start menu or in other places that have no extension support requires major work and will often create a buggy/unstable result because you might have to inject yourself into the Explorer desktop process (and other processes on Windows 10).
I deleted the Edit menu from my cocoa app but now I need to restore it with all the voices. I tryed to copy it from another app but it lose all the Actions... so I found myself with all the voices of the menu but they do nothing... so I started to connect all the voices in First Responder and it was working but then I noticed that some voices like "Redo" and others are not in First Responder and I don't know where to find them..
Is there a way to completly restore the Edit menu in my app? or if it is no possible anyone knows where I can find the missing Actions like Redo?
Thanks for any help - Peace - Massy
Look in the Interface Builder Object Library (Where there are buttons and other controls to drag onto your interface.)
There you will find Edit Menu Item. (Search for it if you can't see it.) You can drag it into your menu.
I'd like to make an application which user can drag and drop tab to make a new window contains
a tab control user holds. What i am looking for is the exact same functionality of Google
Chrome browser for window and Internet explorer 9. Both Applications create a new window if
if user drags and drop a tab out of original window. and vice versa.
How do i do this? Any advice or sample code will be appreciated
It's not a simple task, but if you work through it bit by bit...
Most tab controls will allow you to detect mousedown (and maybe even drag) and when the cursor is moved away from the tab row, you create a new window with a single tab (and maybe a frame depending on what you want).
When they drop, show the rest of the frame as required.
As for moving the content, this depends on your application layout but it can be as simple as changing the container of a control (SetParent()) or the destination of a render.
You can also just drag an "image" of the tab and only create the window when they drop.
Getting any more detail than this is going to be preety much impossible without specifics (and you actually accept an answer).
I accidently closed the property thing in VS2008, you know the one where when you're using Winforms you can edit like a controls text, font, dock, anchor, etc, etc.
How I get it back can't find!
To clarify it's the side panel thingy where you can edit control properties... usually goes side by side with the Toolbox, like you can't develop a Winform application wtihout this panel and I can't figure how to open it omg QQ!
Select a control on the forms designer and press F4
