Inventor 2018 and Dockable Windows
The improvements to the behavior of dockable windows in Inventor 2018 are mostly welcome. There is one rather big issue though. Dockable windows that contain a winform as the child control are severely hampered because they are no longer resizable by the user when the window is undocked. You can get temporary control by switching to a dockable window containing a user control (i.e iLogic) and resizing that window. You can then resize the winform based dockable window as long as you have no interaction with the form itself.
Converting to user control as the child solves the resizing issue. However, a user control means there are all kinds of issues with the user interface when compared to using a windows form, mostly involving a large amount of work to fix navigation and keyboard issues.
Dockable windows with a winform child control worked without issue in at least the last four Inventor versions. Can we get this fixed?
