Here you’ll find all the new features that are coming with the new version of AvalonDock. Thanks to feedback of the community, I collected a lot of bug reports and requests of improvements. The reason of this post is that I would try to not miss something from your suggestions so that new release will contain as much fixes/features as possible.
This list of features can be also a valid reference for new users that are going to try and/or use AvalonDock in their projects.
- New anchor images for Aero theme with context highlighting:
- Sharpness of icons and images:
- Documents floating like in VS2010:
- New Contexts Menus on Documents/Floating Window
- Added IsLocked property to documents to show the lock icon as shown above.
- Added OnDocumentClosing/OnDocumentClosed event on DockingManager class to allow user code to cancel a document closing event.
- New feature called DocumentNavigator. It’s like the WindowNavigator but it works only with documents and it doesn’t reorder documents by last activation time. End-user can access the DocumentNavigator window pressing Shift+Tab:
I added a lot of small fixes in almost every part of the project. btw most important regard layout serialization exception and overlay docking positioning.
If you think that there is a feature/bug fix that absolutely should be part of this release, for example for your project, post here your request maybe I already fixed it.
After releasing ver. 1.2 I’m planning to write a second tutorial for AvalonDock that exploree better all its functionalities.I’m about to produce a video tutorial too.
Many thanks to all for the great feedbacks and comments posted here on my blog and on codeplex.
