Dockable window background color

BrentHoskisson — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:14:30 GMT

I created an addin with a dockable window. It works great. Problem is I decided I need a different background color on the window. So I changed the background color in the designer, started it up and it is always the original background color. The code must be cached somewhere. How can I change the background color of my window? Where is the cache to delete?

Hi,

I am having quite a similar problem that the add-in I created was a dockable window which shows up on a button click on the left side of ArcMap and pinned. But as i changed it setting to unpinned and to right side in "Config.esriaddinx" and again rebuild and ran it, its no displaying the changes in ArcMap. I have used the following code to show it.

            UID dockWinID = new UIDClass();
            dockWinID.Value = ThisAddIn.IDs.DockableWindow1;

            // Use GetDockableWindow directly as we want the client IDockableWindow not the internal class
            
            IDockableWindow dockWindow = ArcMap.DockableWindowManager.GetDockableWindow(dockWinID);
            dockWindow.Show(true);

Btw I am using ArcGIS 10 and developing the add in in VS 2010.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
