Remarks
The IWindowPosition interface has methods to move and resize a window. Any window object can implement this interface. All the ArcGIS application windows implement this interface.
Commandbars also support IWindowPostion. Use the State property to determine whether a toolbar is floating on the desktop.
You can do a type cast from the application object to IWindowPosition.
IWindowPosition windowPos = app as IWindowPosition
The following code reports whether the Standard Toolbar is docked on the application or floating on the desktop.
//app is a reference of IApplication
ICommandBars documentBars = app.Document.CommandBars;
UID barID = new UIDClass();
barID.Value= "{5DEB1DB8-C2A9-11D1-B9A2-080009EE4E51}";
ICommandItem bar = documentBars.Find(barID, false, false);
IWindowPosition windowPos = (IWindowPosition)bar;
if (windowPos.State == esriWindowState.esriWSFloating)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Standard toolbar is floating");
else
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Standard toolbar is docked");
You can do a type cast from the application object to IWindowPosition.
Dim windowPos As IWindowPosition
windowPos = CType(app, IWindowPosition)
The following code reports whether the Standard Toolbar is docked on the application or floating on the desktop.
Dim documentBars As ICommandBars = app.Document.CommandBars 'app is a reference to IApplication
Dim barID As UID = New UIDClass
barID.Value = "{5DEB1DB8-C2A9-11D1-B9A2-080009EE4E51}"
Dim bar As ICommandItem = documentBars.Find(barID)
Dim windowPos As IWindowPosition = CType(bar, IWindowPosition)
If windowPos.State = esriWindowState.esriWSFloating Then
MsgBox("Standard toolbar is floating.")
Else
MsgBox("Standard toolbar is docked.")
End If
