-
LayoutItem GetLayoutItemFromModel( LayoutContent content )- Returns the LayoutItem wrapper for the content passed in LayoutContent as argument.
- Overridden. Is invoked whenever application code or internal processes call ApplyTemplate, setting up AutoHideWindow.
-
LayoutFloatingWindowControl CreateFloatingWindow( LayoutContent contentModel, bool isContentImmutable )- Creates a Floating Window based on the received content model. Is invoked when a LayoutFloatingWindowControl is required for display of a (layout is (re-)loaded from storage or user drags a LayoutAnchorable or LayoutDocument):
- Returns:
-
UIElement CreateUIElementForModel( ILayoutElement model )- This method is invoked to create the actual visible UI element from a given layout model. It is invoked when:
- New UI items are created and layed out or
- Layout is deserialized, and the previous UI items are restored to the screen (using the model whos information was serialized to XML).
Executes when the user starts to drag a Document or LayoutAnchorable by dragging its title.
