Can I customize the AvalonDock context menu?

Question

I use AvalonDock in a project to take advantage of tool windows.

I do not need tabbed documents and you want to disable the "Dock as Tabbed Document" context menu item when I right-click on the title bar of the tool window. Is it possible?

thanks

I think this is a simple property setting. I am using the latest source from codeplex 76560.

You can change the DockableStyle property to the style you want:

<ad:SampleDockableContent DockableStyle="DockableToBorders" x:Name="DockingManagerPropertiesHost" Title="Only dock to borders"> </ad:SampleDockableContent> 

and can override this method to disable the context menu:

 public partial class SampleDockableContent : DockableContent { public SampleDockableContent() { this.InitializeComponent(); this.DataContext = this; } protected override bool CanExecuteCommand(ICommand command) { if (command == DockableContentCommands.ShowAsDocument) { if (this.DockableStyle == DockableStyle.DockableToBorders) { return false; } if (this.State == DockableContentState.Document) { return false; } } return base.CanExecuteCommand(command); } } 

here is a flag listing:
