AvalonDock with Prism Region Adapter

问题

I have seen some questions on SO but none of them seemed applicable for me. I want to be able to use the great Avalondock 2.0 with Prism 4. However, all the sample region adapters for that is for Avalondock 1.x series, that I cannot get it working.

Does anyone have sample code on how to create a Region Adapter for AvalonDock's LayoutDocumentPane and LayoutAnchorablePane?

回答1:

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, both the "LayoutDocumentPane" and the "LayoutAnchorablePane" do not allow the inclusion/creation of RegionAdapters, however the "DockingManager" does. One solution would be to create a RegionAdapter for the DockingManager which would then manage the instantiation of "LayoutDocuments" within the visual tree.

The xaml would look as follows:

<ad:DockingManager Background="AliceBlue" x:Name="WorkspaceRegion" prism:RegionManager.RegionName="WorkspaceRegion">
                        <ad:LayoutRoot>
                            <ad:LayoutPanel>
                                <ad:LayoutDocumentPaneGroup>
                                    <ad:LayoutDocumentPane>

                                    </ad:LayoutDocumentPane>
                                </ad:LayoutDocumentPaneGroup>
                            </ad:LayoutPanel>
                        </ad:LayoutRoot>
                    </ad:DockingManager>

Note that the region is defined in the DockingManager tag and there exists a single LayoutDocumentPaneGroup under LayoutPanel. The LayoutDocumentPane under the LayoutDocumentPaneGroup will host the LayoutDocuments associated to the views to be added to the "WorkspaceRegion".

As for the RegionAdapter itself refer to the code below which I provided with explanatory comments

#region Constructor

        public AvalonDockRegionAdapter(IRegionBehaviorFactory factory)
            : base(factory)
        {
        }

        #endregion  //Constructor


        #region Overrides

        protected override IRegion CreateRegion()
        {
            return new AllActiveRegion();
        }

        protected override void Adapt(IRegion region, DockingManager regionTarget)
        {
            region.Views.CollectionChanged += delegate(
                Object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
                {
                    this.OnViewsCollectionChanged(sender, e, region, regionTarget);
                };

            regionTarget.DocumentClosed += delegate(
                            Object sender, DocumentClosedEventArgs e)
            {
                this.OnDocumentClosedEventArgs(sender, e, region);
            };
        }

        {

            {
                foreach (FrameworkElement item in e.NewItems)
                {

                        //Create a new layout document to be included in the LayoutDocuemntPane (defined in xaml)
                        LayoutDocument newLayoutDocument = new LayoutDocument();
                        //Set the content of the LayoutDocument
                        newLayoutDocument.Content = item;

                        ViewModelBase_2 viewModel = (ViewModelBase_2)item.DataContext;

                        if (viewModel != null)
                        {
                            //All my viewmodels have properties DisplayName and IconKey
                            newLayoutDocument.Title = viewModel.DisplayName;
                            //GetImageUri is custom made method which gets the icon for the LayoutDocument
                            newLayoutDocument.IconSource = this.GetImageUri(viewModel.IconKey);
                        }

                        //Store all LayoutDocuments already pertaining to the LayoutDocumentPane (defined in xaml)
                        List<LayoutDocument> oldLayoutDocuments = new List<LayoutDocument>();

                        if (currentILayoutDocumentPane.GetType() == typeof(LayoutDocumentPaneGroup))

                            //Get the children (LayoutDocuments) of the single existing pane.
                            foreach (LayoutDocument child in currentILayoutDocumentPane.Children)

                        //Traverse the visual tree of the xaml and replace the LayoutDocumentPane (or LayoutDocumentPaneGroup) in xaml

        }

        /// <summary>

        {
            region.Remove(e.Document.Content);
        }

        #endregion  //Event handlers

Do not forget to add the code below in your Bootstrapper so that Prism is aware of the existence of your RegionAdapter

protected override RegionAdapterMappings ConfigureRegionAdapterMappings()
        {
            // Call base method
            var mappings = base.ConfigureRegionAdapterMappings();
            if (mappings == null) return null;

            // Add custom mappings
            mappings.RegisterMapping(typeof(DockingManager),
                ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<AvalonDockRegionAdapter>());

            // Set return value
            return mappings;
        }

Voilà. I know this is not the cleanest of solutions but it should work. The same approach can easily be applied to "LayoutAnchorablePane".

Live long and prosper!
