Dorset, United Kingdom – April 2007, Divelements Ltd announces the release of SandDock for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). SandDock brings advanced window management to your applications, making it easy to deal with multiple documents and views in your software by supporting techniques like docking, tabbing and floating for each window. Smooth animations and intuitive window switching with optional Tab-3D make this easily the best window management solution available.
Feature Summary
Dockable Windows - Windows are dockable within the main container. The user can drag them to any side of the container to create complex groupings of windows, arranged in the most logical fashion for the task at hand.
Collapsed Groups - When a window is docked inside a container, it can be "unpinned", where it collapses down to a small tab representation of itself at the side of your container. Smooth animations are used.
Tabbed Documents - If your application is document-oriented you will likely want to take advantage of the tabbed document interface (TDI) support in SandDock.
Multiple Document Interface - Windows Presentation Foundation does not provide an MDI implementation in the platform. SandDock addresses this with its own MDI implementation.
Floating Windows - When a window is dragged from its location to a space on the desktop not recognised at another dock location, the window can be floated. Intuitive docking hints guide the user while a docking operation is in progress.
Tim Dawson, Technical Director and Owner of Divelements, said: “This is a fantastic new product, enabling the same kind of windowing functionality that our existing SandDock for Windows Product enables for that platform, but with many new features we were able to incorporate because of the new framework. Features like Vista-style 3D flipping between windows, smooth animated transitions and MDI support all build on top of the robust and simple API we created for dockable windows and documents. Creating a flexible window layout in your application has never been easier.”
