Question

How can I make floating windows use their design size (and not the Dock Panel Suite’s default size) with the Weifenluo Dock Panel suite?

Hint: I tried a proposition from the Dock Panel Suite forums at SF.net, but that doesn’t seem to work.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

var topLeft = dockPanel1.Location;
topLeft.X += (dockPanel1.Size.Width / 2 - newForm.Size.Width / 2);
topLeft.Y += (dockPanel1.Size.Height / 2 - newForm.Size.Height / 2);
newForm.Show(dockPanel1, new Rectangle(topLeft, newForm.Size));
