Desktop

Represents a desktop container that can host floating windows.

The Desktop control provides an easy-to-use container for Form navigation. Only one Desktop can be shown to a user at a time, but an unlimited number of Desktop controls can be created for each Wisej.NET application.

For a full list of properties, methods and events see the API documentation.

Features

Switch Desktop

Wisej.NET applications can contain an unlimited number of customized Desktop controls. To switch between desktops, set the Application.Desktop property.

C#

Application.Desktop = new MyDesktop();

When working with multiple Desktop instances, the existing Forms on the page will be retained.

Child Control

The Desktop container can also be hosted on a Page control.

Adding a Desktop control to any container other than a Page will throw an exception in the designer or at runtime.

Taskbar

The Taskbar portion of the Desktop control manages and displays open Forms. When a new Form is shown within the application, a shortcut is automatically created in the Desktop's taskbar.
