Adding userControl to docking form...

[lidds]

Is it possible to add a new docking form to PDF Xchange Editor control that will display a userControl from my project?

If so do you have an example of how to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

You mean you want to add something like the property pane?

Cheers,

Yes that is correct Alex. Is there a way that I can add a userControl to a pane within PDF Xchange Editor, so that the docking pane is within the PDFXEdit.

Hello Simon,

There was a topic like that before - the sample is quite complicated to implement, so this will be done when there are no more urgent matters (new features, bug fixes).

Hi Alex,

I was wondering if there is / or if you have managed to produce a smaple to show how to do this? This is becoming quite urgent for me.

Thanks

Hello Simon,

I'm afraid that there is no sample on this one yet. Though I will try to prepare it as soon as I have time for this.

Alex,

Thank you so much for this and the quick response. However I have had a look at this and am a little unsure how I could add a userControl to the custom pane?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

You mean that you want to embed your COM control inside of our pane?

Cheers,
Alex

[lidds]

Yes, exactly right. Is that possible?

Hello Simon,

Well we will try to come up with something. Can you give a little more information on the Control that you are trying to embed, so that we can understand more what to work with on our side (for example Windows Media Player control or something like that).

Cheers,

Alex,

Basically I want to add a custom user control to your docking form. I have attached a copy of your original project sample with a custom user control that contains a button. Basically the user control could contain anything from a button, to a grid control, panel etc.

Thanks

Hello Simon,

Tomorrow we will have a dev conference - I will ask whether this is possible at all. I'm pretty sure that this should work with COM components, though I don't know about the User Controls.

Alex,

This is fantastic news and really does open this up for me and hopefully other users. Thank you for the excellent support as usual.
