Creating a DocumentWindow

This example provides information on creating document windows in RobotStudio.

Note

For WPF or Windows Forms support, add <UseWPF>true</UseWPF> or <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms> to the <PropertyGroup> element in the project file.

Tip

For adding a WPF control in a DocumentWindow, it must be hosted in an ElementHost.

Solution

1. Create empty <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control>

   Control control = new Control();
   

2. Create DocumentWindow using empty Control

   DocumentWindow window = new DocumentWindow(Guid.NewGuid(), control, "MyDocumentWindow");
   UIEnvironment.Windows.Add(window);

public void AddDocumentWindow()
{
    // Begin UndoStep
    Project.UndoContext.BeginUndoStep("AddDocumentWindow");

    try
    {
        // Initialize a new control and document window, then add to UI.
        Control control = new Control();
        DocumentWindow window = new DocumentWindow(Guid.NewGuid(), control, "MyDocumentWindow");
        UIEnvironment.Windows.Add(window);
    }
    catch
    {
        Project.UndoContext.CancelUndoStep(CancelUndoStepType.Rollback);
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        Project.UndoContext.EndUndoStep();
    }
}
