DocumentGroup.ShowPinButton Attached Property

Gets or sets whether the Pin button on the tabbed DocumentPanel is visible. This is an attached and a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Docking

#Declaration

#Returns

Type Description
Boolean

true, if the Pin button on the tabbed DocumentPanel is visible; 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 XAML mark-up, use the ShowPinButton attached property. To do the same from code, use the DocumentGroup.SetShowPinButton and DocumentGroup.GetShowPinButton methods. The code below illustrates an example.

<dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
   <dxdo:LayoutGroup>
      <dxdo:DocumentGroup x:Name="DocumentGroup" Caption="DocumentGroup" MDIStyle="Tabbed">
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document1" Caption="Document1" dxdo:DocumentGroup.ShowPinButton="True"/>
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document2" Caption="Document2" dxdo:DocumentGroup.ShowPinButton="False"/>
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document3" Caption="Document3" dxdo:DocumentGroup.ShowPinButton="True"/>
      </dxdo:DocumentGroup>
   </dxdo:LayoutGroup>
</dxdo:DockLayoutManager>

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.

<dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
   <dxdo:LayoutGroup>
      <dxdo:DocumentGroup x:Name="DocumentGroup" Caption="DocumentGroup" MDIStyle="Tabbed">
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document1" Caption="Document1" dxdo:DocumentGroup.Pinned="True"/>
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document2" Caption="Document2"/>
          <dxdo:DocumentPanel x:Name="Document3" Caption="Document3" dxdo:DocumentGroup.Pinned="False"/>
      </dxdo:DocumentGroup>
   </dxdo:LayoutGroup>
</dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
