Hi,
AvalonDock is a nice open source docking toolkit, integration it WAF will be a nice feature for making modern applications.
Thanks for your framework.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. At the moment I have not planned to integrate AvalonDock or any other 3rd party component into WAF.

Hello!
I have managed to make the BookLibrary controls (views) dockable, using AvalonDock; the only problem I am facing is that when a document (control) is undcoked it looses it's data and displays a blank document but when it is re-docked
again it gains back the data and displays them correctly. I have not been able to figure it out; not sure if it is an issue with WAF or AvalonDock. I have used AvalonDock on other applications I have written with no problems. I
am happy to send upload/send my code but I don't know how or where to. Thanks.

Hi Asad,
I will shortly send you my code.
Basically, what I have done is that I added AvalonDock.dll (version 1.3.3600) and AvalonDock.Themes ( version 1.0.0) - downloaded from http://avalondock.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/96566 -
to the BookLibrary's Presentation project and modified ShellWindow.xaml as follows:
<Window x:Class="Waf.BookLibrary.Library.Presentation.Views.ShellWindow"
...
xmlns:ad="clr-namespace:AvalonDock;assembly=AvalonDock"
>
...
<DockPanel>
...
<ad:DockingManager x:Name="xDockManager" Grid.Row="1">
<ad:ResizingPanel Orientation="Vertical" ad:ResizingPanel.ResizeHeight="700">
<ad:ResizingPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<ad:ResizingPanel ad:ResizingPanel.ResizeWidth="700" Orientation="Vertical">
<ad:DockablePane SelectedIndex="1" ad:ResizingPanel.ResizeWidth="600">
</ad:DockablePane>
<ad:DocumentPane>
<ad:DocumentContent Name ="AddressBook" Title="{x:Static p:Resources.AddressBook}">
<ad:DockableContent x:Name="xPersonListView" Title="{x:Static p:Resources.BookLibrary}"
Content="{Binding ShellService.PersonListView}" />
</ad:DocumentContent>
<ad:DocumentContent Name ="BookLibrary" Title="{x:Static p:Resources.BookLibrary}">
<ad:DockableContent x:Name="xBookListView" Title="{x:Static p:Resources.BookLibrary}"
Content="{Binding ShellService.BookListView}" />
</ad:DocumentContent>
</ad:DocumentPane>
</ad:ResizingPanel>
<ad:ResizingPanel Orientation="Vertical" ad:ResizingPanel.ResizeWidth="300">
<ad:DockablePane>
<ad:DockableContent x:Name="personViewPresenter" Title="Person View Presenter"
Content="{Binding ShellService.PersonView}" />
<ad:DockableContent x:Name="bookViewPresenter" Title="Book View Presenter"
Content="{Binding ShellService.BookView}" />
</ad:DockablePane>
</ad:ResizingPanel>
<ad:DocumentPane />
</ad:ResizingPanel>
</ad:ResizingPanel>
</ad:DockingManager>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
Obviously, it needs some tweaking to make it more presentable; but I will try and do that after the problem of un-docking issue, explained above, is resolved.
Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Hi,
It is better you create a public property like this in your view model:
public ObservableCollection<object> DuckViews
{
get
{
return this.documentViews;
}
}
and in your view set this property as DocumentsSource .
<avalonDock:DockingManager x:Name="dockManager" FontFamily="Tahoma" DocumentsSource="{Binding DocumentViews}"
.....
in your view model initiate your dock views and add those to the DuckViews property.
Hope this Helps
Asad,

He Asad,
Many thanks for your reply.
I am not using any extra view models or coding over and above what already exists in the original BookLibrary. I merely changed the ShellWindow.xaml.
I found this http://avalondock.codeplex.com/workitem/15506 which has resolved my problem.
Anyhow, thanks for your time and help; I will try your suggestion in my other applications.
Sabba
