Docking?

[Shadowblitz16]

I was looking at the aui manager example and I don't quite understand it.

namespace SMBXR.Editor;

using Alternet.UI;

public class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MenuBar    MenuBar  { get; } = new();

    public LevelBar   LevelBar { get; } = new();

    public AuiManager Docker   { get; } = new();
    public LayoutPanel Panel { get; } = new();

    public LevelWindow LevelWindow { get; } = new LevelWindow();
    public MainWindow()
    {
        Menu = MenuBar;

        LevelWindow.Show();

        Panel   .Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        LevelBar.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
        Children.Add(Panel   );
        Children.Add(LevelBar);

        Docker.SetFlags        (AuiManagerOption.Default | AuiManagerOption.AllowActivePane);
        Docker.SetManagedWindow(Panel);

        var pane = Docker.CreatePaneInfo().CenterPane().PaneBorder(false);
        Docker.AddPane(LevelWindow, pane);
    }
}

Also this seems to crash for me ... Docker.SetDefaultSplitterSashProps();

It's looking for user32.dll which would be windows only...

I can't suggest to use AuiManager and other Aui controls. After testing it's features and functionality, we found that it works badly under Linux and MacOs. Also there are some limitations in the Aui controls which are critical.

I suggest to use:

• SplittedPanel as a container for sidebars.
• SideBarPanel as a simple tabcontrol for sidebars.
• GenericToolBar as a toolbar.

I am closing this as AuiManager and other Aui controls are hidden now. I suggest to use SplittedPanel, SideBarPanel, GenericToolBar instead of Aui controls
