How to add DockContent into DockPane using DockPanel Suite

Question

As the title.

For example I have multi chat rooms with multiple userlist. I added all the userlist onto the right dock.

Problem is if the user changes the userlist into bottom dock, I'll still be adding to the right dock.

How do I add a content into a pane such that even if the user changes the location, it'll add to the correct place?

Is there any place with gd documentation of WeiFenLuo's DockPanel Suite?

There is some sparse info by way of documentation and code samples here: https://github.com/dockpanelsuite/dockpanelsuite/wiki/_pages — bgmCoder, May 02 '13 at 03:43

Hard to answer your question without knowing how you have your DockContent(s) set up.

Assuming you have two classes:

public class ChatRoom : DockContent{}

public class UserList : DockContent{}

All you should have to do is create a dependency between the two instances that relate to one another. Again it is hard to tell you which way is best without knowing more specifics, but you can just add a method that registers the specific ChatRoom with the UserList, and everytime a user leaves or enters the room, you add/remove the user from the list.

public class ChatRoom : DockContent
{
    private UserList MyUserList;

    public void Register(UserList list)
    {
        MyUserList = list;
    }

    public void UserIn(User newUser)
    {
        // Code for adding user to chat room
        MyUserList.Add(newUser);
    }
}

(This shows the method for if a user were to enter, it would be the same idea for if they leave) — NominSim, Nov 04 '11 at 20:36
