Actipro WPF Essentials 2016.1 build 633

Docking/MDI

• Added the DockSiteLayoutSerializer.CanSerializeUnusedLazyLoadData property, which can be set to true to re-embed unused lazy load data back into serialized layouts.
• Added the DockSite.CanToolWindowsDragToFloatingDockHostsWithWorkspaces property, which can be set to false to prevent tool windows from being dragged to floating dock hosts that contain workspaces.
• Added several virtual Initialize* methods on DockSite that can be overridden to further initialize a hosting Window prior to display.
• Added the AdvancedTabControl.CanTabsSelectOnDragOver property that can be set to false to prevent auto-selecting tabs when a system (e.g. text, file) drag occurs over them.
• Added DocumentWindow.Attach and Dock methods that allow for programmatic docking to other tabbed document windows or tabbed MDI containers.
• Improved the docking window container logic to not make the UI inactive when controls in other focus scopes like menus/toolbars get focus.
• Improved the logic for tracking the last-focused element within docking windows.
• Improved the logic for tracking HwndHost focus changes with InteropFocusTracking, particularly in nested dock site scenarios.
• Updated system drags over unselected tool window container and tabbed MDI container tabs to only select after a brief delay.
• Updated the WindowControl template.
• Updated a couple templates to work around issues when using multiple dispatchers.
• Updated menu placement logic.
• Updated non-hosted transient window drag logic for improved pointer tracking.
• Updated the dock guide display logic for certain scenarios.
• Updated the logic for working with layout transforms.
• Updated logic so that when using MVVM and dragging a docking window to a linked dock site, the related item will try to move to the target dock site's items source.
• Updated the logic for tracking where a mouse is when focus moves outside of an open auto-hide popup.
• Updated the Prism sample's Shell code-behind to show how regions for docking windows in XAML could be exposed to the RegionManager.

Ribbon

• Renamed ImageToMonochromeConverter to ImageSourceContentConverter and moved it to the Shared Library, along with adding some new features.

Shared

• Added the DynamicImage control, which is a drop-in replacement for Image that will auto-grayscale the image content when the control is disabled.
• Updated ImageConverter to return a DynamicImage instance instead of Image.
• Updated ImageSourceContentConverter to work on vector GeometryDrawings too.
• Added the attached ImageSourceContentConverter.CanConvertToMonochrome property, which can be set on portions of a DrawingImage that shouldn't be converted to monochrome, such as areas that display a selected color.
• Added the ImageSourceContentConverter.Mode property that sets whether to convert to grayscale (default) or monochrome.
• Added the UIColor.Luminance property and Grayscale method.
• Updated ConditionalConverter to return TrueValue for non-empty string values.
