BaseView.QueryDocument Event

Occurs when the restored layout version has a Document that is not present in the View. Allows you to skip this Document or add it to the View.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

Declaration

public event QueryDocumentEventHandler QueryDocument

Event Data

The QueryDocument event's data class is QueryDocumentEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
Cancel Gets or sets whether the Document that triggered the QueryDocument event should be restored.
Caption Gets or sets the new caption of the restored Document.
Control Gets or sets the control hosted by this Document.
Name Returns the BaseDocument.ControlName property value of this Document.

Remarks

You can save and load Document layouts with the View’s SaveLayoutTo... / RestoreLayoutFrom... methods (for example, SaveLayoutToXml and RestoreLayoutFromXml). If a restored layout contains Documents that are not present in the current View, these Documents re-appear and the QueryControl event fires to supply these Documents with content. Document captions are not stored as a part of a layout and are omitted from restored Documents. To set captions for restored Documents, handle the QueryDocument event. Use the e.Name property to identify a Document that triggered this event (this property returns the Document’s ControlName property value).

void OnQueryDocument(object sender, QueryDocumentEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Name == "document1ControlName")
        e.Caption = "document1_Restored";
}

void OnQueryControl(object sender, QueryControlEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Document == document1)
        e.Control = new userControl1();
}

If you do not want the QueryControl event to supply content for restored Documents, assign controls to the e.Control property of the QueryDocument event.

void OnQueryDocument(object sender, QueryDocumentEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Name == "document1ControlName") {
        e.Caption = "document1_Restored";
        e.Control = new userControlPropertiesPanel();
    }
}

To skip a Document and not restore it, enable the e.Cancel property.

void OnQueryDocument(object sender, QueryDocumentEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Name == "document2ControlName")
        e.Cancel = true;
}
