DockingLayout Blazor API

DockingLayout Properties

NameTypeDefaultDescription
AutoLoadStateboolfalseControls whether the automatic loading of a saved layout state is enabled or disabled. Note: For automatic loading to function, a layout state must have been previously saved; if no saved state exists, loading cannot occur.
AutoSaveStateboolfalseControls whether the automatic saving and restoring of the element’s state is enabled.
Note: To successfully save and restore the state, the element must have a unique id attribute assigned.
DisabledboolfalseControls whether the element is active or inactive. When enabled, users can interact with the element; when disabled, the element is rendered non-interactive and may appear visually distinct to indicate its inactive state.
DraggablebooltrueIf set to false, this option disables the ability for users to reposition DockingLayout items using drag-and-drop in the UI. When disabled, items can only be moved or rearranged programmatically using the provided API methods; manual dragging by end-users will not be possible.
FloatablebooltrueWhen set to false, this option disables item floating within the DockingLayout. If a window is dragged in an attempt to float it, the window will automatically return to its original docked position, rather than being allowed to float outside the layout. Note that any LayoutPanel items which were already floating before this setting was applied will remain unaffected and will not be forced back into the docking structure.
HideSplitterBarsboolfalseConceals all splitter bars within the specified element, preventing them from being visible or interactable by the user.
LayoutobjectN/ADefines the Element Structure'

This property specifies the overall structure and hierarchy of the element. It accepts an array of objects, where each object defines a specific item within the element—along with its settings, type, and relationship to other items. The structure enables you to organize complex layouts such as split containers, tabbed panels, and tab items.

'Item Object Types'

Every object in the array must include a 'type' attribute, which determines its behavior and role within the layout. The following three types of objects are supported:

---

### 1. 'LayoutGroup'

Represents a splitter or a group of layout panels. Use this type to create containers that organize multiple DockingLayout items (such as panels) in either horizontal or vertical arrangements.

'Properties:'
- 'type': '"LayoutGroup"' (required)
- 'orientation': 'string' – Specifies the orientation of the splitter, either ''horizontal'' or ''vertical''.
- 'size': 'string | number' – Sets the size of the splitter group.
- 'items': 'Array' – An array of 'LayoutPanel' objects to be contained within this group.
- 'resizeMode': 'string' – Specifies the resizing behavior. Valid values: ''none'', ''adjacent'', ''end'', ''proportional''.
- 'resizeStep': 'number' – Determines the increment step used when resizing by splitter.
- 'liveResize': 'boolean' – If true, resizing happens live as the splitter is dragged.

---

### 2. 'LayoutPanel'

Represents a tabbed container (TabsWindow) within the DockingLayout. Each 'LayoutPanel' can hold one or more 'LayoutPanelItem' objects (tab items).

'Properties:'
- 'type': '"LayoutPanel"' (required)
- 'id': 'string' – Unique identifier for the LayoutPanel.
- 'autoHide': 'boolean' – If true, enables auto-hide for the panel.
- 'autoHidePosition': 'string' – If 'autoHide' is enabled, specifies the hide position: ''top'', ''bottom'', ''left'', or ''right''.
- 'dropPosition': 'string' – Determines where new items can be dropped when dragged. Options include: ''top'', ''bottom'', ''left'', ''right'', ''center'', ''header'', ''layout-top'', ''layout-bottom'', ''layout-left'', ''layout-right''. Positions with the 'layout-' prefix specifically refer to LayoutPanelItems within the panel.
- 'label': 'string' – The visible label of the panel window.
- 'tabPosition': 'string' – Controls the position of the tab labels within the panel.
- 'layout': 'string | object' – Assigns the owning DockingLayout. Accepts either the string ID or a reference to the DockingLayout instance.
- 'headerButtons': 'Array' – Defines which buttons are visible in the panel header. Options include '[]', or any combination of ''close'' and ''autoHide''.
- 'tabCloseButtons': 'boolean' – Enables or disables a close button on each tab label within the panel.
- 'tabOverflow': 'string' – Specifies how tab label overflow is handled (mirrors the SmartTabs 'overflow' property).
- 'selectionMode': 'string' – Sets the tab selection mode (mirrors the SmartTabs 'selectionMode').
- 'tabResize': 'boolean' – Allows resizing of tab labels (mirrors the SmartTabs 'resize' property).
- 'locked': 'boolean' – Locks the panel size, preventing resizing.
- 'max': 'number' – Sets the maximum allowed size for the panel.
- 'min': 'number' – Sets the minimum allowed size for the panel.
- 'size': 'string | number' – Defines the current size of the layout panel.
- 'items': 'Array' – An array where each object defines a tab item in the panel.

---

### 3. 'LayoutPanelItem'

Represents a single tab within a LayoutPanel (also known as a TabItem).

'Properties:'
- 'type': '"LayoutPanelItem"' (required)
- 'id': 'string' – Unique identifier for this tab.
- 'label': 'string' – The text label shown on the tab.
- 'content': 'any' – The actual content of the tab. Can be any supported node, data, or HTML.
- 'selected': 'boolean' – Indicates if this tab should be selected by default. By default, the first item is selected automatically.
- 'draggable': 'boolean' – If false, disables drag-and-drop for the tab item.

---

'Summary'

Use this property to configure complex, nested layouts comprising splitters (LayoutGroup), tabbed panels (LayoutPanel), and individual tab items (LayoutPanelItem). Each configuration object must specify a 'type', and each type includes a distinct set of properties to control behavior, appearance, and interaction within the layout hierarchy.
LiveResizeboolfalseWhen this option is enabled, resizing occurs in real time as the user drags the splitter, allowing them to see the panels adjust immediately. By default, this feature is disabled; instead, a highlighted guide or outline appears during the drag action, and the actual panels are resized only after the user releases the mouse button.
UnlockKeystring""Gets or sets the 'unlockKey', a unique code required to activate and access the full features of the product.
Localestring"en"Specifies or retrieves the current language setting. This property determines which set of localized messages from the messages property should be used or displayed. Assigning a language code (e.g., 'en' for English, 'fr' for French) allows the component to present its interface and messages in the corresponding language.
MessagesobjectN/AManages an object containing all the text strings displayed by the widget, allowing these strings to be easily customized for different languages. This property works together with the locale property to support localization and internationalization, ensuring that users see the appropriate translations based on their selected language. When set, it updates the widget’s UI with the provided localized strings; when accessed, it returns the current set of localization strings in use.
ReadonlyboolfalseWhen the element has the "readonly" attribute, users can view its content but cannot modify or interact with it. However, the element’s value can still be copied or selected, and it may receive focus via keyboard navigation, but any attempt to change its value will not be permitted.
RightToLeftboolfalseGets or sets a value that specifies whether the element's alignment supports right-to-left (RTL) languages, adjusting the text and layout direction for users of locales such as Arabic or Hebrew. This ensures that the element properly accommodates languages that are read and displayed from right to left.
ResizeStepint5Specifies the incremental value by which the size is increased or decreased during resizing operations. This determines how much the element's dimensions change with each resize step.
SnapModeDockingLayoutSnapModeDockingLayoutSnapMode.AdvancedSpecifies the snap mode for drag-and-drop operations within the layout. There are two available modes:



  • simple – Enables the user to drag and drop a single tab item either within the layout or outside of it. When dragging begins, a semi-transparent highlighter appears to clearly indicate all the valid drop zones for the tab. The user must drop the dragged tab inside one of these highlighted zones to complete the operation.


  • advanced – Allows the dragging and dropping of an entire TabsWindow—containing all its tab items—or an individual tab. This mode adopts a Visual Studio-style visual feedback system: as an item is dragged, an overlay appears showing various possible drop locations, represented as icons. The user must drop the item directly onto one of these icons within the feedback overlay to position it in the desired location.



The highlighter or feedback overlay automatically appears as soon as a drag operation is initiated, visually guiding the user to all valid drop targets and enhancing the drag-and-drop experience.
Themestring""Specifies the theme to be applied to the element. The selected theme controls the overall visual appearance—including colors, fonts, and styles—ensuring a consistent look and feel that matches the application's design guidelines.
UnfocusableboolfalseIf set to true, the element will be excluded from the tab order and cannot receive focus via keyboard navigation or mouse interaction.

DockingLayout Methods

NameTypeArgumentsDescription
AutoHideBottomvoidobject nodeCreates a "smart-tabs-window" node as a child of the layout, configured to be auto-hidden by positioning it at the bottom of the container. This setup places the tab window along the bottom edge of the layout, where its content remains concealed by default. The content only becomes visible when the user clicks or selects one of the tab's labels, providing an unobtrusive way to access additional information or tools within the interface.Args: object node - The "smart-tabs-window" or "smart-tab-item" node to append
AutoHideLeftvoidobject nodeCreates a "smart-tabs-window" node as a child element within the Layout, configuring it to be auto-hidden and docked to the left side of the layout. This means the tabs window will appear collapsed along the left edge of the application interface, keeping its content hidden by default.
