Get a HostWindow by its Content
In certain cases, you may need to perform specific operations depending on the currently activated HostWindow in regards to the form/user control that it contains.
In order to do this, you should first subscribe to the ActiveWindowChanged event and then execute the following code snippet in the ActiveWindowChanged event handler:
void radDock1_ActiveWindowChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventArgs e)
{
HostWindow hostWin = e.DockWindow as HostWindow;
if (hostWin != null)
{
if (hostWin.Content is VegetablesForm)
{
// custom implementation here
}
}
}
Private Sub radDock1_ActiveWindowChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventArgs)
Dim hostWin As HostWindow = TryCast(e.DockWindow, HostWindow)
If Not hostWin Is Nothing Then
If TypeOf hostWin.Content Is VegetablesForm Then
' custom implementation here
End If
End If
End Sub
Getting a HostWindow by its content
In order to get a HostWindow that hosts a particular form/user control instance, you should call the GetHostWindows method passing the contained control as a parameter. Supposing that vegetablesForm is an instance of type VegetablesForm, we can use the following code snippet:
HostWindow vegetablesWindow = this.radDock1.GetHostWindow(vegetablesForm);
Dim vegetablesWindow As HostWindow = Me.RadDock1.GetHostWindow(VegetablesForm)
