Control resizing of ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.DockableWindow

SaurabhGupta5 — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 03:48:28 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I need a quick help on stop resizing of dockable window. I have added WPF user control as a child to this esri dockable window and i want user cannot resize this on arcmap. It should be of fixed width. How can i achieve the same ?

Here is the code for reference

public class AddinImpl : ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.DockableWindow

{

private System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost m_windowUI;

public AddinImpl()

{

}

protected override IntPtr OnCreateChild()

{

m_windowUI = new System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost();

m_windowUI.Child = new dckSafeDevt();

//m_windowUI.MaximumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(305, 500);

return m_windowUI.Handle;

}

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

{

if (m_windowUI != null)

m_windowUI.Dispose();

base.Dispose(disposing);

}

dckSafeDevt is the xaml usercontrol.

Regards

I don't know about WPF, but we have a windows forms dockable window and a lot of the minimum size properties are blocked when you add the form to Arcmap. When I open my form as a standalone project, the minimum height and width settings are obeyed, but when it is added to Arcmap, you can compress the form right down until it is almost invisible.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for replying but what do you mean by compressing the form?

Sorry, I mean when you are resizing the application window. As a standalone application, you can pull the top edge of the window towards the bottom of the screen and it stops moving when the form reaches the minumum size.

With ArcMap, you can just keep pulling it down until it's just the window border.

Keep going...

Hi Saurabh,

Sorry, I've been talking about minimum size when you wanted the maximum size to be set. It looks like this property is ignored too though. You'll just have to design your dockable window with this in mind and hope users don't stretch it out too much. At least all the other dockable windows have the same problem, so you're not alone.

Have you tried putting all your controls into a panel, so at least they stay together?

Thanks Jon for your prompt response...

Yes, i have tried out all the ways but my design wants it to be non-resizable. I believe there is something which we can use to stop this resizing but unfortunately i am not able to find it out .... i still want to hear from someone , may be someone has came across this and resolved this.

Best Regards
