DocumentGroup.GetShowPinButton(DependencyObject) Method

Returns a value indicating whether the Pin button on the tabbed DocumentPanel is visible.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Docking

#Declaration

public static bool GetShowPinButton(
    DependencyObject obj
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
obj DependencyObject

An object for which the ShowPinButton attached property’s value must be returned.

#Returns

Type Description
Boolean

true, if the tabbed DocumentPanel is pinned; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

The DocumentGroup object contains child DocumentPanel objects that allow you to create a tabbed or MDI interface. To create a tabbed interface, set the DocumentGroup.MDIStyle property to MDIStyle.Tabbed.

If DocumentPanels are represented as tabs, they can display Pin buttons that allow an end-user to pin and unpin a current tab at runtime. Pinned tabs are stacked to either the left or right side, depending on the DocumentGroup.PinLocation property value. The figure below illustrates an example.

DocumentPanel - PinButtons

To specify the pin button visibility in an XAML mark-up, use the DocumentGroup.ShowPinButton attached property. To do the same from code, use the DocumentGroup.SetShowPinButton and GetShowPinButton methods. The code below illustrates an example.

DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetShowPinButton(Document1, true);
DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetShowPinButton(Document2, false);
DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetShowPinButton(Document3, DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.GetShowPinButton(Document1));

To manually specify whether tabs are pinned or unpinned in an XAML mark-up, use the DocumentGroup.Pinned attached property. To do the same from code, use the DocumentGroup.SetPinned and DocumentGroup.GetPinned methods. The code below illustrates an example.

DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetPinned(Document1, true);
DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetPinned(Document2, false);
DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.SetPinned(Document3, DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.DocumentGroup.GetPinned(Document2));
