Additonal button on AvalonDock control
Does adding button on avalondock windows title bar can be done? coudn't find any resources on it either. I have done adding button on title bar of normal WPF windows, but avalondock has no option for adding button. I have an old application which needed to have help button on title bar like this
Let's assume you have DockablePane
<ad:DockingManager>
<ad:DockablePane x:Name="myAwesomePane">
<ad:DockableContent >
... SomeContent ...
</ad:DockableContent>
</ad:DockablePane>
</ad:DockingManager>
Then after your window has been loaded you can find DockPanel
in your pane visual tree and add button to it.
private void MainWindow_OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var dockPanel = FindChild<DockPanel>(myAwesomePane);
if (dockPanel != null)
{
var button = new Button {Content = "Help", Margin = new Thickness(1), Width = 40};
button.Click += (o, args) => MessageBox.Show(this, "HELP");
DockPanel.SetDock(button, Dock.Right);
dockPanel.Children.Insert(dockPanel.Children.Count - 1, button);
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Find first child of given type
/// </summary>
public static T FindChild<T>(DependencyObject parent) where T : DependencyObject
{
var childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
T result = null;
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
{
var dObj = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
result = dObj as T;
if (result != null)
{
break;
}
result = FindChild<T>(dObj);
if (result != null)
{
break;
}
}
return result;
}
But there are several limitations I didn't look up for solution:
button disappears after pane was docked to another place
you have to do it for all your panes manually
