AvalonDock is an open-source WPF control library used to create customizable multiple window user interfaces in applications. Here is a basic usage of AvalonDock:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Utilize the AvalonDock library: In your project, incorporate a reference to the AvalonDock library. You can download and install AvalonDock from NuGet.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a layout file: Use XAML to create a layout file that defines the structure and layout of the AvalonDock container. You can utilize layout controls provided by AvalonDock, such as DockingManager, LayoutAnchorablePane, and LayoutDocumentPane.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <avalonDock:DockingManager x:Name=\"dockManager\">\r\n    <avalonDock:LayoutRoot>\r\n        <avalonDock:LayoutPanel Orientation=\"Horizontal\">\r\n            <avalonDock:LayoutDocumentPaneGroup>\r\n                <avalonDock:LayoutDocumentPane>\r\n                    <avalonDock:LayoutDocument Title=\"Document 1\">\r\n                        <TextBlock Text=\"Content of Document 1\"\/>\r\n                    <\/avalonDock:LayoutDocument>\r\n                <\/avalonDock:LayoutDocumentPane>\r\n            <\/avalonDock:LayoutDocumentPaneGroup>\r\n            <avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>\r\n                <avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane>\r\n                    <avalonDock:LayoutAnchorable Title=\"Tool Window 1\">\r\n                        <TextBlock Text=\"Content of Tool Window 1\"\/>\r\n                    <\/avalonDock:LayoutAnchorable>\r\n                <\/avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePane>\r\n            <\/avalonDock:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>\r\n        <\/avalonDock:LayoutPanel>\r\n    <\/avalonDock:LayoutRoot>\r\n<\/avalonDock:DockingManager>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Load layout in code: loading layout file in code.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      dockManager.LoadLayout(layoutFilePath);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Save layout: At the appropriate time, the current layout can be saved to a file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        dockManager.SaveLayout(layoutFilePath);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Dynamically create and remove layouts: Layouts can be created and removed dynamically at runtime.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \/\/ \u521b\u5efa\u4e00\u4e2aLayoutDocument<\/span>\r\nvar<\/span> document = new<\/span> LayoutDocument();\r\ndocument.Title = \"New Document\"<\/span>;\r\ndocument.Content = new<\/span> TextBlock() { Text = \"Content of New Document\"<\/span> };\r\n\r\n\/\/ \u5c06LayoutDocument\u6dfb\u52a0\u5230LayoutDocumentPane\u4e2d<\/span>\r\nvar<\/span> documentPane = dockManager.Layout.Descendents().OfType<LayoutDocumentPane>().FirstOrDefault();\r\ndocumentPane.Children.Add(document);\r\n\r\n\/\/ \u79fb\u9664\u4e00\u4e2aLayoutDocument<\/span>\r\nvar<\/span> documentToRemove = dockManager.Layout.Descendents().OfType<LayoutDocument>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Title == \"Document 1\"<\/span>);\r\ndocumentToRemove.Parent.Children.Remove(documentToRemove);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          The above is the basic usage of AvalonDock, you can further customize and expand according to your own needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
